I have been scrapping a lot of Christmas layouts, but today I hit the pause button on that and switched to a springy color palate for my mom's birthday card. My mom is one of those unfortunate people whose birthday fall right before Christmas, so her celebration often gets lost in the midst of Christmas busyness. I kept her card pretty simple since I'm going to be mailing it, but I managed to add a little bit of dimension with some embossing on the banners and the enamel hearts. The sentiment inside says, "from my barn to yours," which pretty much sums up both of our households right now!

ReplyDeleteCheryl: making your mom's birthday card non-Christmas or winter, I'm sure is going to bring a huge smile to her face!!! And give her warm fuzzies because you've shown her how much you love her with a special card!
