Birthday Card

I was able to put away stuff and clear my craft desk yesterday.  But my planet's still in the works with regards to the "rehabilitation" process...

With my craft desk cleared, I have no reason not to make a birthday card for my DSIL.

I used 2 Nestabilities dies - long rectangle scallop and labels labels one.  The gold flower is from Prima, and the flower in front is by Lil Davis (RAKed to me by Lisa ).  The "Happy Birthday" is one of Studio G's dollar stamp collection.  This is also my first time to use the Stampin' Up scallop edge punch (I hope you don't mind, Claire ) and I love it!

I like the end result of this card, especially its dimensions.  What I like best about this card is that most of the materials I used are leftover material.

I also stamped a sentiment inside.  The image is from Cloud 9 Designs.  I was actually amazed when I learned that the "saying" was quoted from Oprah Winfrey.  It says:  "The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate."

That is just so beautiful!

By the way, check out the big bunch of Christmas cards I recently got in the mail.  They are all from 3 swaps.  You can view them by clicking here.

OK, let me do some more cleaning in my planet....
