Four Birthdays In Five Days…

July 7…My Dad turned 70!!
July 8…Ellie turned 2 and our friends welcomed a baby girl
Today, July 10…Tony’s Auntie’s Birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY {GREAT} AUNTIE PATTI a.k.a. Auntie Weirdest! This is a card that I made for her special day…
I brought out a slew {ok, 4} of Inque Boutique stamps from The Purple Turtle Stamp Shoppe to make this card. This is the second card that I have used Jazzy Punctuation on. Susan was over when I was making this and we were laughing about how we love brackets. We have no idea what the appeal is, but we love ‘em. You know me…if you add some polka dots to it, it’s even sweeter! For the mini calendar with the cake marking today, I used the Build A Calendar set. Cute, huh? The 100% Original {I did say “Auntie Weirdest”} stamp comes from the Build A Tag mini set. This set reminds me of the SU! Set, Stamp Of Authenticity…except this one is only $3.99!! The fourth and final set that I used was Retro Shapes. I got this set because I love how girly it is and how I can use it to make backgrounds, like I did here. As for the final touches on this card, I crazy stitched the left side of the Spring Moss and Berry Sorbet (Papertrey colors} panel. That yummy ribbon is from May Arts and I have finally started to use it a little. The right side of the card is embossed with the Bloom Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. Don’tcha love that polka dotted brad in the center of that Prima?!? I had to go get “extras” of these so I would quit hoarding the ones that I already had…now that is BAAAD!
See you tomorrow with a little “trick” that I use!

**love** this!!! FABulous colors and Magnificent Design!
Wow, absolutely fabulous! I am loving the brackets lately!
Such a cute card…darn you! I was trying to resist looking at these new sets as I really don’t need a new place to spend my stamping money, but you drove me there. I’m loving all these images. I was wondering if these stamps are acrylic or rubber? I tried looking around the website, but couldn’t figure it out.

Wow! This layout is so fun!! Great design!
LOVE that card! And to think I resisted that Build A Calendar set during Everything Inque Day, darn it all……
I am loving those colours! The various elements you combined work great together!

This is so fun!! I was going to order this set during the Inque Day too and didn’t. Boy am I regretting it.
I have those MM brads too! I have only used one for fear of never having any again! LOL…the brad is perfect and looks terrific on this layout!
I want to be you when I grow up. I love your cards… I feel like such a novice and a beginner… I love your cards.
