Well, Hippie Hippie Birthday!

Kris at Imagine That Digistamp came out with a wonderful new stamp called Hippie Aud which I used in this card and the sentiment is from TLC.  I added glossy accents on the glasses and some Stickles on the flowers to add some glitter.

Batman Birthday Wishes

I made this card for a friend who is into Batman who had a birthday back in May, but I couldn't post it since I didn't see her until recently to give her the card and gift.  I used the pre-colored image from Digital Delights and had fun creating a background using the die-cuts from Die-Namics and cut one in black and one in gray to look like a shadow.  She loved the card so it was worth it.

Time for a Birthday Sugar High

On Monday it was my birthday.  I am so blessed that I have wonderful family and friends. I worked the day, and my co-workers were great and decorated my office with notes and post-it notes, balloons, cards and flowers. My boyfriend and I had a late dinner at Flemings and had some Carrot Cake for dessert. He spoiled me with a HUGE bouquet of flowers that Casio, my cat, wants to eat. Just miss my kids.

Kris, at Imagine That Digistamp is allowing me to give a $10 voucher to someone of my choice for my birthday which is just so generous of her.  So if you are interested in the voucher to use at the store just leave a comment and put "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" in the comment and I will know you are interested in this, please do so by Friday August 5th 9:00pm CST.
