LRW - Challenge #30 - Birthday Card

It is Wednesday again! I have no idea where the last week has gone! Carolyn challenged us to make a Birthday Card this week! So here is version of a birthday card!

I have had these Martha Stewart Felt Cupcakes hanging around for a while now and thought this was the perfect time to go digging through my stash for them!

I added a little bling and a PTI - Mixed Messages sentiment stamped in Brown ink. The ribbon was also was from my stash!

Looking forward to seeing some some creative birthday cards this week... feel free to link up your project to the Little Red Wagon Blog!

Birthday Card for my Mom!

Well it was my mom's birthday on Wednesday and she and my Dad came for a visit for Dinner... I made Chicken Cordon Swiss, Scalloped Potatoes and Broccoli and also made our traditional Family Birthday Cake but made it a little fancier by making it into 2 levels. I also had a brainstorm when I was at the liquor store and picked up a bottle of Baby Duck - my mom said she used to drink this as a teen! So thought it would be a nice meal!

Card Details: Patterned Paper is My Mind's Eye (Bohemia - Bliss"Love of my Life" Tiny Dots/Blue and I made the two Hearts using a sizzix die, I used the Alphalicous Cricut Cartridge for the Wording "mom" and stickled them. Stamped the saying Birthday wishes on a cuttlebug tag and distressed it with blue ink. I added some ribbon and ric rac to the card along with a small felt cupcake by Martha Stewart!

Birthday Card!

I started this card when I was at the scrapping Turtle last month for the Stamping Night!

I used PP-WeR Memory Keepers (Nonsense-Sing Song), Cornish Heritage Farms Owl stamp and my Copics!!
