I am starting to run out of steam! Good thing I am going on a quasi vacation at the end of the week. Between my tests, getting ready to go, and general blogging stuff my cup runneth over! Wish me luck on my Econmics test that I have today though. It is not my strong suit! My husband thinks that is not surprising considering how much scrapbooking things I buy. He says I have no concept of money! The nerve *wink*
Today's card is made using the Martha Stewart Season Cake Art cartridge. I made this for my Mother-In-Law's birthday. I need to get it in the mail soon too because she lives in England and it takes FOREVER for things to get there.
 |
| The paper is from Close To my Heart as is the ribbon. |
 |
| I cut '59' out at 3/4". |
 |
| The stamp is from Papertrey Ink. |
 |
| The 'top note' shape is a spellbinders die that I made using my cuttlebug. I cut it in half and used half on the outside of the card and the other half on the inside! |
Don't forget that I am drawing winners tomorrow for my Hello Thursday giveaway! Be sure to check back in to see if you won!
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Beautiful card for a beautiful lady (I'm sure)! By the way, as one who is on the soon-to-be-end of 52, 59 is a wonderful age! Happy Birthday to your mom-in-law!

I always love your cards. I have a question to ask how do you mail these beautiful cards without them getting damaged?
Economics--yuk! Took lots of those classes but didn't make me like it--nothing sure in that department.
And my daughter is an economist!
Anyway, happy birthday to your MIL. I'm sure she will love this card from her beautiful DIL.
What a pretty card. I love the sentiment! I am sure she will love it.
Beautiful Card, best wishes on your test!
Economics? Do you mean Scrap-omics? That's the theory for me! Card is beautiful. Love the resourceful use of cutting the top note shape...very 'economical' of you! *wink* Good luck on your test!!

Love this card...beautiful. I think I'm going to have to use this card. TFS!
Oh my gosh, that's my birthday # too this year! It's a wonderful age!
Funny when we were 30 and thought 59 was ancient - looking back, I think times have changed so much, and for the better. We feel better, we look better, for heaven's sakes, we ARE better at 59 than women were 30 years ago. Happy Birthday to all of us, no matter what age we are!
I love this cartridge and I think I'm going to have to invest in it. Thanks for sharing yet another special card with us!
Blessings, Donna
