So next monday is my hubby's sister, Kathy's 50th birthday. Now Kathy and I have a difficult relationship at best BUT she endeared herself to me on Keith's birthday. If you read my blog regularly, you know we lost Keith's Mom Bette last August. Well, this was his first birthday without her and at 9:00 am that morning, the phone rang. It was Kathy wishing Keith a happy birthday. She has never called him on his birthday before and I think it made Keith feel really good so good he said I had to make "Something Special" to send her. I hate the pressure!! Here it is:
I am using those scraps again. I had half of a Carousel Note and a small piece of this Afternoon Tea DSP leftover. The card is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" and I only had one more envelope this size, too. It seemed to fit the bill, cause he wrote something in it, sealed the envelope and asked me to address it to his sister. Good thing she doesn't visit this blog, huh? At least I don't think she does!! If so, sorry I ruined your surprise. Sorry, I posted twice in one day! That is a record, eh?
Supplies Used: Fresh Cuts Stamp set; Chocolate Chip, Groovy Guava, Whisper White & Afternoon Tea DSP Cardstock; Chocolate Chip Classic Ink; Stylized Silver Hodgepodge Hardware, Double-stitched Groovy Guava ribbon
Have a great day!
I LOVE this card! Hate that when you HAVE to create under difficult circumstances, but this turned out amazing!!
