Birthdays

We all have them, and we all have a few that are back to back, or really close together, friends, family, whatever. This week I have 3 back to back, Son, Friend, Sister-in-law. I made 2 cards last night, and dove into my handmade card stash for the other one. My son is turning 7 tomorrow. We will be decorating for his birthday tonight and popped into the Party Store at the Golden Mile (GREAT STORE for party supplies for any age) and we got him Hockey themed things. He is getting quite interested in hockey, with no help from his daddy of course. Oh, I just remembered what I needed...wrapping paper...oops. Well, I hope we have some end of the roll stuff left somewhere.

My Sister in law's birthday is on Saturday, and she is 4 months older than me, so she is turning the big THREE O before me. So of course I had to make note of that in the card.

My Friend/neighbours birthday is in between the 2, and I won't mention how young she is, but we did get together tonight so I could give her the card I made. It was nice to get out and talk to another women, mother, wife, human....lol

So anyways, on with the cards....here are the

2 I made last night! I had put an order in last week with my stamping supplier, and was hoping I could make a birthday card using my new stuff, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I had to use my old new stuff.....lol

I used all the new in colour inks from the stampin up catty, and the fun stitched ribbon. I also got myself a handy dandy tool called a crop-a-dile and used that for the white eyelets in the corners! I embossed the celebrate in black embossing powder and punched the Enjoy your day with a 3/8 circle punch, and the center with a smaller circle punch. I had alot of fun with this card. I also used my 5 in 1 envelope template for the first time and stamped it aswell!

For this card I embossed the frog with black embossing powder, and the happy birthday too. I kept asking my husband, are there blue frogs, how bout black frogs? So if there aren't black frogs, there are now!! If you look closely, you'll notice that i wasn't doing a very good job with the stapler. I made a few mistakes, but he will enjoy is anyways I'm sure!

It is the CC98 for this week at SCS!

Off to decorate now that all the kidlets are in bed!
