Birthday Wishes

There are two birthdays that I needed cards for in January, both at the end of the month, and I had both on my list since the 4th...(Can you say procrastinator?)

So I got myself together Thursday afternoon last week to get one of the cards made for my SIL's birthday today. I was hoping to beat the mail carrier to our mailbox and save a trip to the post office. It snowed Thursday, and while I love it from my window, I am not too sure this So Cal Ex-Pat (as hubs recently described me) wants to drive in it.  Call me a wuss, I can take it!

It was a mad rush of stamping, embossing, coloring, and embellishing...TWICE. I smeared when I was almost done the first time, it was not something that could be covered up by popping something up over the smear (yes I have done that!) and I had to make the stamped portion again. Patience is not my strong suit. 

However, I can say I was victorious. I beat the postman to the box and I love the card, especially that little bit of curved ribbon at the bottom of the paper flower. I also changed up the sentiment placement the second time around.



Do you ever have a mad rush card to make?

Thanks for stopping by!
