Happy Birthday!




Hi, crafty friends!  

What a beautiful day here in NW Ohio.  It's a perfect fall day for my birthday!  Later this evening I plan to have dinner with our son at a favorite restaurant.  My husband this morning surprised me with a  lovely bouquet of flowers and a gift certificate to a craft store!  Yesterday, I had a great time at my sister's condo with all my sisters to celebrate my birthday, so fun!






My sister, Christina, gave me the nutcracker(baker) and a cookie jar(truck).  I usually bake Christmas cookies for them to take home when we get together in December.  It must be a hint to do it again this year!:-)


They also had decorated a Parisian theme for my birthday, so sweet!!



Tomorrow is my SIL, April's birthday!  A big happy birthday to you, April!  I am hoping that by now that she received her birthday card.  I had tons of fun making her the flower card!  I am entering this card over at the Flower Challenge.

And, here is the card...


I already posted this card in IG, so some of you have already seen it.  The sunflower dies are from Honey Bee.  Ink sprays, ribbon, and a gem were added to finish the card.  Ink sprays can be quite messy, but it's fun playing with them since you always get a different result with your projects.  

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!  Take care and have a wonderful day!

Hugs!

  4. Happy Birthday a day late! Yesterday was my SIL's birthday and today would have been my mom's birthday, so it's a great time for celebrating and a good excuse for you to make cookies for your sisters too! Gorgeous flowers, great photos and a beautiful card for your sister too! Wouldn't this gorgeous weather be awesome for a few more weeks?! WOW!
