Hey, Hey, It’s my Birthday! On the sad side, it is the first birthday I don’t have any of my kids around. On the happy side, I am going to Chanhassen Dinner Theatre tonight to see Newsies! Going to see a show is the perfect birthday celebration for me! Brett and I celebrated last night with a pre-birthday dinner at Zella’s (Local Restaurant). They even brought me a red velvet birthday cupcake, complete with candle! I don’t remember the last time I actually had a candle to blow out. It was very tasty! (And, they DIDN”T sing at me. Bonus!)
The past two months, I have focused a lot on sharing Sale-a-Bration and Occasion catalog stuff, and have made some very fun birthday projects. But let’s not forget the great sets in the Annual catalog. In honor of the delicious treat above, I thought I would share two cards using one of my favorites: Sweet Cupcake.
I love the simplicity in this one. It really lets the cupcake stand out. Flirty Flamingo makes for some great looking frosting!
I really stepped things up for this next card.
I love all the little details on this one. The coordinating framelits really help make this card extra special.
Is it strange that I really don’t want to give these two away. Can I give myself a birthday card? I’ve bought myself a birthday present before – so, Why not! Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!
