Over on the Papertrey Ink blog yesterday, Laurie’s Fabulous Favorites was all about a favorite sentiment. I’ve always thought that PTI did flowers and sentiments very well – you should see my stash! It was hard to pin down a favorite for me, so I took my need for a birthday card for my son-in-law to the next level with one of my favorite designer’s birthday die. I love Dawn McVey’s Say It Simply series, and the Lovely Birthday die is a favorite of mine. So, I did this card for both Joshua and for the Win It Wednesday challenge and contest. I used some masculine type colors (I checked with my daughter about his favorite colors other than Duke blue!) and added a bright yellow birthday balloon to pop off of the mellower tones of blue and green balloons. I liked how my card turned out. I just couldn’t resist a bit of bling on this great sentiment die though. Sorry Joshua! Your mama-in-law loves her bling!

Thank you for stopping by my blog and taking a look. I do so enjoy making cards for my family and friends. I have an anniversary card to do for my husband – we share our anniversary with our son-in-law’s birthday. I’ll also be doing a birthday card for my granddaughter. She is turning 4 years old next month. I’ve gotta do a special one for her. So be on the look out for some more eye candy coming your way!
