Stamping Down South: Happy Birthday!

Today I'd like to share with you a birthday card I made for my brother-in-law. We drove to Richmond yesterday so we could attend his "surprise" party, his girls had to tell him because he gets a little "grouchy" if you spring a surprise on him, and he already had a bizillion things planned for Saturday.

I totally fell in love with my Create with TLC design team mate's creation and I had to CASE this for my card! Thank you Carla, you make the most gorgeous cards ever! You can view Carla's card on her blog here. I went to Mo's and purchased the image and I already had the sentiment from TLC.

card recipe:

My Mind's Eye design paper, SU and Georgia Pacific cardstock

Copic markers, distress inks, jute, burlap from The Funkie Junkie

Spellbinders dies

My card is just a tad different, but the idea still came from Carla. I love the sentiment "Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened?" I can certainly identify with this too!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Thanks for visiting, I love reading your comments and

appreciate all your support!
