Happiest of Birthday Wishes

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

It's been slow going trying to chip away at

the two inches of solid ice covering our driveway,

but we've been making great headway every day.

I actually got out and did some much needed

grocery shopping today. Good thing too,

as there's another storm that's going to

hit us on Saturday.

Luckily, my mojo has been present this week,

so, I've been making cards.

Here's just one of them:

I unearthed an older die set for the fancy rectangle elements.

I even embossed the smallest die in the set instead 

of die cutting a frame, because they are so ornate and

look so pretty together.

The sentiment and flowers are NBUS that I finally

cracked the packaging on.

Here's the inside:

The sketch I've used is curtesy of Atlantic Hearts Challenge #666, 

and the color theme is from Color Hues Challenge #125.

Addicted to Stamps & More #509 has an any occasion

challenge, so I'll link up there also.

Thank you for visiting. I hope that you are all

surviving this stretch of bitter cold weather

we've had lately. Take care!
