Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday!!!! Well good news is we did not lose power yesterday so Yay for that!!! Also i am pretty proud of myself I got every single piece of laundry washed and put away I don't know if this is a struggle for you like it is for me but it is really hard for me to keep up on laundry I do it but it usually stays in a basket folded and that's about as far as it goes!!! I will get to the card I know it did not come hear to listen to laundry talk.

This card was a reject for a call so I guess I can share it here now I used Technique Tuesday's Message In A Banner love this sweet little set I also used a sentiment from Hero Arts the Dp is crate paper which is perfect for a Boy Birthday card!!!

Today I am sharing a CAS card I thought I would get away from the Christmas/winter themed cards. I used two of my favorite companies on this card today Basic Grey and the fabulous Hero Arts. To add a little interest I added some fun stitching around the edge of my card. How about that fabulous Felt tree??? It was really hard for me to bring myself to use this beauty and I am so happy I did.

Now for the winner of my blog candy
