HB to mE!!!!

Hello and Good evening!!!
I know it's late but I just have to tell you about my day today- because it's my birthday !!!
It was all in all a GRRRREAT day !!!
The whole day today was spent in my Stamp Room and I had the most fun. Most of it really was spent cleaning and organizing. My room has been in a total disaster especially after the week we had our Craft Fair (that's another story). I had quite a bit of cardstock that needs to go to their respective folders, stamping supplies that needed to be put away, unfinished projects that I have set aside waiting to be done. The new 24- Season 7 has been out and what could be better than Jack to keep me entertain while he is saving the day.
On top of that, I had quite a bit of phone calls from family and friends who remembered my big day- Mom and Lola Lucy, my sister who is also celebrating her Wedding Anniversary, my brother, my dear friend Claire from LA, Marc, Ron, Aunt Trudie and Uncle Tony, Elsie, Ryli and even a nice e-mail from the Stampin' Addicts not to mention the wonderful birthday wishes on Facebook, and lots of cards from Rose, Jean, Steph, Michele, Cheryl, Janice, Vera,Pam B Marc and Candace, Allen and Kate Lyn, Chu and Bing.
We had a wonderful dinner with my family and got some wonderful and thoughtful gifts from my kids, and of course from my DH.

Then, as I was going through SCS challenge, my card above on SCS was in the sketch challenge. How cool is that ?
It was a wonderful day ....most definitely !
and tomorrow I get to celebrate it with a real friend and "sister.

Good night everyone!!!

Make Merry

Sketch Card Challenge #253

I did a small oopsie when I posted this card on SCS. I forgot to put the other panel that goes with this sketch. I did not realized what I did until everything is already glued together, and I did not feel messing up with the card. I will have to make it right and do another card.

At any rate, this card turned out pretty cute, I think.

Stamps: Dasher

Paper: Soft Suede and DSP, Whisper White, Kiwi Kiss
Ink: Soft Suede

Accessories: polka dot ribbon, brads
