Birthday

We went to our very good friend’s house for the Super Bowl tonight.  It was so much fun.  Good food, good game and good conversation!  Their daughter had her sweet 16 birthday today.  I wanted to make her a very fun card for her special birthday so I checked out PalsPaperArts for this week’s sketch.  Gracie liked the card and the Paper Pumpkin  I brought for her gift.  Paper Pumpkin is an awesome craft project in a box that arrives every month.  You should check it out!

Abby and Keegan’s groups both got all 1’s at the State Speech contest on Saturday, so we’ll find out tomorrow if either group was chosen for All State!

Please see the products I used to make this card at the bottom of this post.  I’d love it if you’d sign up to receive my posts or leave me a comment or question.

Blessings,

Mom celebrated her 75th Birthday yesterday!  She told me 75 seemed really old.  I had thought about making a card with the Number of Years set and putting a big “75” on the front of the card.  She said she was much happier with the flowers.  Note to self, this set might be more appropriate for birthdays with smaller numbers. 🙂  Anyway Mom doesn’t look or act 75.

I used Mojo Monday and The Paper Players challenges to create her card.  For The Paper Players I used the left column, flowers, die cuts and yellow.  The Designer Series Paper I used is Botanical Gardens.  The colors are Hello Honey and Mint Macaron.  I love the new Botanical Builder Framelits Dies to make all kinds of awesome flowers.

We celebrated at Fire Creek Restaurant in WestDesMoines.  It was a cold winter night and we had delicious food and great conversation while sitting by the roaring fire.  A great way to celebrate Mom’s birthday!

Please leave a comment or question.  I love hearing from you!

Blessings,

“You’re The Friend Every One wishes They Had.” I have been blessed with several friends that I feel this way about.  A couple of them have birthdays coming up.  I bought this stamp set, “Friendly Wishes” because I knew I needed this particular stamp.

As you can see above it’s an awesome stamp set!

I used the Pals Paper Arts color challenge to create this card.

It is freezing cold in Iowa today.  Abby, Steve and I went to our kickboxing class this morning and the temperature was 2 degrees and well below zero with the wind chill.  Last week we were in Cayman Brac and it was 84 degrees.  I can confirm there’s a huge difference between 84 degrees and 2 degrees!

Hope you have a great day!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
