Happy Birthday to me!

Thursday, May 28, 2009

I woke up this morning to a little girl beaming a huge smile about one inch from my face. :) "Happy Birthday Mama" she said. *sigh* Love that kind of wake up call.

We're going out to dinner tonight so Syd and Hubby are saving their other gifts until then. Although, hubby did let me buy a couple of my very own NESTIES to go with my cuttlebug that my girlfriends bought me! After reading all the comments left on my blog candy about how much you all love yours, sooo excited to finally have some! But now my wish list just got even longer! hahaha

Sorry to keep you all in suspense on the blog candy winner, but bare with me. I have one card to show you today and in a little while, I'll have the winner posted in a separate post to follow. Promise!

The sketch came from this week's Card Positioning System's CPS117 challenge. I used a Stamping Bella image for this birthday card because it looks a lot like someone I know ;) I colored her with my SU reinkers and added some Stickles to the giant cupcake and a Tiny Twinkle to her bow. The CPS sketch showed another circle layer around the sentiment. I substituted it for this Heidi Swap flower. My new favorite paper has made another appearance on this card. :) I think I'm going to have to buy another one because I'm using it up fast!

As I get older, I think I lose brain cells because I completely forgot that the Hanna Stamps June release party in this coming Monday!! Which means that tomorrow marks the start of the sneak peeks!! Ack!! So check back tomorrow for the card(s) I'll be burning the midnight oil on tonight! LOL I'll also give you all the details about the party then too.

Thanks for stopping by today! I really appreciate it!
