Happy Birthday/FMS#73

Good morning and Happy Presidents Day! If you are looking for my Drunken Stampers post, you can click here. Today my hubby has the day off so we will probably do what we usually do when he has a day off: him read a book or play his X-box, and me up in my craft room making a card, occasionally switching out the laundry loads! LOL! Yep, that's right. We know how to par-tay! Hahaha! Speaking of partying, I have a Birthday card to share with you, using the Freshly Made Sketch challenge #73:

the inside:

and the sketch:

I have a friend who has a birthday coming up, and it happens to fall on St. Patrick's Day, thus the leprechaun! I picked paper that had a sunburst pattern on it (bonus!) I stamped, colored, and fussy cut the little guy and the mug of beer. The stamp has him holding a clover, but I cut that out carefully with an X-acto knife, separated the fingers and put the beer mug in his fingers. (hee hee!) He's popped up on foam squares. Love how this came out!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a magical day also!

Chris ☺
