Happy Birthday!

Here's the beautiful inspiration photo.

Happy Friday!

I hope all of you are doing well on this fine Friday afternoon!  Wish I could say it's another lovely sunny day, but ummmm...no...it's raining again...sigh.  Oh well,  yesterday we had a gorgeous sunny day!  It was a "no coat" day even...yeah!  Anyways, lovely weather will soon return I'm sure.  Ok, now about the challenge this week over at The Play Date Cafe.  Such a pretty inspiration photo for sure!  These colors reminded me of some Cosmo Cricket papers that I had.  It got me thinking summer.  It also got me thinking several birthday cards I need to make this month.:-)  I distressed the edges and did a little sewing on the corners for interest.  I used several different patterns.  And, what about the little chick, isn't that the cutest?!  I just had to add some bling to the birthday hat and some bling around the birthday sentiment.  I finished the card with some lovely SU ribbon I had.  Thanks for looking and adding any comments!  Take care and have a great weekend!
