Birthday wishes

Hey everyone!  I've been MIA since Friday, however I was in a heap of paper work.  My kids are finished with school for the year & they are going to be evaluated this week.  So, I was busy getting their portfolio of work completed.  Then on Saturday and Sunday I had the worst headache I have ever had in my life, I think it was a migraine, it was awful.  I'm still feeling blah, but at least my head is no longer throbbing.  Oh and for the cherry on top, the school I can see from my house, is shut down for the next few days because the CDC believes a child with the Swine Flu goes there, and the school district has to disinfect the entire school before the kids are able to come back.  Kind of scary.

Anyhow,...

I have this package of really cool textured notecards, that I just stare at.  Its by Hero Arts and I bought it years ago, so I busted it out and made a card with it.  I stamped the flowers (Friends set from PTI), colored the flowers in and then cut them out using sharp scissors.  Before adhering the flowers down, I ran satin ribbon around the cardstock, added a tag and button to the center of the bow, and tied it in place with twine.  Using the Slice machine I cut out the tag, and then trimmed it to size.  An easier way to make this card would be to directly stamp on the cardstock, cutting the flowers out took a little bit of time.  I hope all of you had a great weekend, and have a wonderful Monday.  Mine is going to be a busy one.
