Birthday #2

Well, as y'all may have seen in my previous post, the 16th was my mom's birthday.  Not only was it my mom's birthday, it was also my hubby's birthday, our friend's birthday and our niece's birthday.  Plus, next Monday is my MIL's birthday, and the 28th is another niece and our nephew's birthdays.  Whoo!  Looks like y'all will be seeing quite a few birthday cards from me the next week or so. LOL

Here's the second one I created: the one for my hubby.  His favorite color is purple, which makes me giggle, so I always try to use that color in his birthday cards.




I used this fabulous image I just got from Kenny K called Bodacious Bev.  I merged her with a keg of beer I found on public domain.  The image was colored with Copics.  The background paper is from my new kaisercraft paper.  The gems, ribbon and cross came from my stash.  The sentiment I printed out on word.  It has always made me laugh, and my hubby is a beer connoisseur, so it was perfect.


Because of the colors, it's hard to see the bow on the front of the card. I tried to lighten up the picture a bit more and did a closeup so you could see the bow better.  It's still a bit hard to see...but it's the best I could do.  Sorry!  =D

Well, thanks for stopping by!

Birthday #1

Hey y'all!  Here's my first birthday card post.

Mom, if you're reading this....STOP RIGHT NOW! 
lol  I wanted to give this to you, but you wouldn't answer the phone.  Hopefully I can get it to you before you log in.  =D

For everyone else, I created this card for my mom's birthday.  It's a little late, but I wanted to make sure to put some work into it.  She's the best, and she deserves the best.



My papers are all from DCWV.  The image on the front is from Tiddly Inks, and the image on the inside is from Happileigh Scrappin'.   The sentiment I found on Split Coast Stampers, and it cracks me up. "The secret of an enjoyable birthday can be found in achieving balance.....forkful of cake, spoonful of ice cream, forkful of cake, spoonful of ice cream." Tee hee!

The sketch I used is from I (heart) 2 Stamp, the January Sketch for You to Try.
