Happy Happy Happy Birthday

Welcome by today!  I'd like to share this quick little card with you that I made for a dear friend.  I try to remember to send cards to pretty much everyone; but even I forget sometimes.  In this particular case, I forgot this friend's birthday last year.  So....I didn't want to let history repeat itself.  I made sure I had her card all ready to go this year - even a few days early.

I used some Crate Paper patterned papers and chipboard pieces from their Confetti line.  I've had this collection for quite some time, but I recently ran into the 12x12 chipboard at Tuesday Morning for just $1.99 so I picked up a couple more of them because all the pieces in the chipboard set are SO adorable.  For this card, I used the heart, the frame and the balloon.

I stamped the sentiment (Happy Happy Happy Birthday) using a Paper Sweeties stamp set. I inked the edges of all my patterned papers, and on the chipboard balloon; I added some twine and a felt die-cut bow topped with a miniature sweetheart blossom.  It's a fairly simple card, but I love the colors.  I'll be sharing my card in the challenges listed below.

Thanks for stopping by to peek,

Karen
