Birthday Time!!













At work we had 2 Birthdays.. I made a couple cards for our little shindig... I made this one for BJ... she turned... well... she turned another year older (for the record still don't believe she is as old as she says she is) I made her this card from me.. basic 4in x 5.5in with a black layer being 3in x 4.5in and the teal and if you can see its texture which i thought was a cool look for the dress (same as dress color) 2.5in x 4in I cut "model9" from "forever young" cartridge at 5 in I did the under lay in purple but the top in teal along with head band and bracelet, since i didn't have the purple i used in the dress i had to use the teal so I did the silhouette in the same color as the card so she would pop more. i found this saying "Like many women my age...." and on the inside i wrote  "I am 29 years old" the next card i did was for Mrs Juddie one of our volunteers I made her the Mushroom card... same dimensions except only the first layer and then i put this new ribbon I found in the dollar bin at target :) I then did a mushroom from "Simply Charmed" at 3 in and that was basically it, the picture is not the best color wise but  it was fun to do :) The bottom Cupcake  card was to BJ from the entire department we all signed it,  it was the same size card with the 2 layers each decreasing in 1/2 inch the cupcake was from simply charmed cut at 2.5 inches in the same colors the purple being textured if you can see on here and another piece of matching ribbon from Target! It went good though brought in some food and had a good time which is all that matters.
