October 26, 2014 Birthday Wishes

Birthdays are looked forward to when we are young but as we age the allure fades.

Isn't it funny how when we are young we look so much forward to a birthday. The presents, the parties, the fun and all that goes with it to make a birthday special. As we age all that changes. Oh, it is still there through our teens and early 20s. But from there the allure fades as do the parties and celebrations. It would seem life takes over and dulls all of those things. But every so often a spark and a light shines on that special day. For whatever reason, friends get together and celebrate that day that is special to an individual. We tend to forget that without that special day the celebration would not exist. Therefore it should be a very special time.

  This is the day which Yahweh has made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY

 This will be shown at Maria's Rieslingmama for Shirley B's Birthday bash. 

I am not used to creating specialized cards. As a general rule I do not have a lot of supplies that support that. So I had to get a little bit creative with this one. I am pleased with the results. As you can see, at first glance it is not traditional.

The imaged I used is from T AC which is no longer in business. It was colored with copics. That in itself is a shame because they had very nice images. The background paper is from the once upon a time Mat Stack. The ribbon and pin are from my stash. The doily trim is from Basic Gray, LLC and A white doily trim sticker from my stash. 

I could not find a sentiment I liked so I made my own in Word and printed it on a light blue card stock from my stash. I hope this is suitable for a birthday card. I am pleased with the way it turned out. I certainly hope you like it Shirley. 

Remember, always LOVE THE DETAILS.
