let Heaven and Nature Sing!

I am on a vintage kick this past week. I think it's because Easter is on my Grandmother's birthday and I miss her and it brings back memories of old.  So here is a Christmas card that I made using a sentiment from TLC, Create which I covered with Distress ink.  I used the image from Graphic Fairy.  I distressed the edges of my paper and cardstock.  I added a feather that I had behind the image.

Hope this birthday tops the charts

Welcome to my new follower Lia.
I get so busy with work, and then have to do my cards for the design teams and  I have been known to forget to my own family and friends birthdays.  Worse, I actually make the cards, but forget to mail out the cards on time even though I have a listing of the dates on a bulletin board next to my computer.  So I am trying to get some of my male birthday cards done.   This one has a retired image from Bugaboo that I am hoping will be added again to the store called PU Present and a sentiment from TLC, Create.
