Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to me .....

I don't think I shared this birthday card I made for a friend. The funny thing is I made the card and was going to drop it by her house since she lives in my neighborhood. But then I couldn't find it. I looked everywhere for it. I was pretty sure it was in my car some place because I remembered taking it to the car when I went to play cards one day. But do you think I could find it? Well, I thought, maybe I took it by her house and just forgot! Anyway about a week or so later, I found it .... in the car under my seat! She ended up getting the card about a month late! Hey - better late than never, you know!
I used Summer Starfruit with the Sahara Sand card. The stamp set is "From My Heart" stamped and die cut with the labels framelit. The background piece is a wheel called Etruscan Elegance Wheel. I haven't bought or used a wheel in so long but I really like this one. Now I just need to remember to use it more often! Watch out Stamp Club - may be using it this month! I also used the Color Spritzer tool (pg 119) to put drops of ink on the die cut image. I sponged the die cut piece with Summer Starfruit and stamped the "enjoyed" separately and popped it up.
Here is a close up of the image and the flower. The little flower was made using a Cuttlebug die that Marianne gave me for Christmas last year. Makes a cute little flower.
I hope you took advantage of the items SU put in their Clearance Bin this weekend. I ordered a few things but a lot of stuff went fast! I was having a problem with a few of the digital items that weren't showing up in my order with the right price. By the time, I called SU and got an answer, several of the items I had in my order had already sold out - like the magnet sheets and all the envelopes. I was bummed but I still got some good deals - red grosgrain ribbon, Vanilla Velvet ribbon, heart punch, card stock and some digital items for pretty cheap. I love those kind of deals.
I had a pretty quiet weekend. I spent a lot of time finalizing my Christmas cards for the Christmas Stamp A Stack I am having in November. I will be posting details about it if you live in the area and would like to come.
