Birthdays don't stop for quarantines......they just get celebrated a bit differently. Thursday Gram turns 95 and next week my dog Abby turns 18 - both of them are setting records for longevity in our family! Gram's gifts have already been delivered to her living facility where they are in quarantine for a few days and will be given to her on her birthday. We will be singing Happy Birthday to her outside under her window!
Abby will probably snooze through her day and enjoy a bit of bacon as a special treat.
And this card is headed to Will's mom who is having a birthday next Monday. Since everyone has been at home her birthday present is a new front yard! The yard was cleared in the fall so this month my son and the Big Guy worked to level the top soil, plant the grass and roll it level. Cross your fingers for green stuff to show up next week! We will be sending a pair of hydrangea bushes her way as her gift.
Meanwhile the foreman has found a way to supervise when he is not out there "helping!"
I am hosting this week at Freshly Made Sketches - celebrate with us and play along!
Stamps: Loads of Happy (Avery Elle)
Ink: Lovely Lipstick
Paper: Whisper White, Lovely Lipstick, Petal Pink, Best Dressed DSP
Sweet card! Love the colors and that sentiment is fantastic! Happy quarantine birthday to everyone up north...glad that there is a supervisor on site for the front yard project. ;)
ReplyDeleteI just adore your layered sentiment, Linda! [there are SO many out there that I WANT!] You've used another splendid DSP, and gifted us with such a great inspiration!

[I can't believe how dark 'the foreman's' hair is now!]
I love the way you layered the scripted "happy". Wondering...did you fussy cut it? The DSP is gorgeous and a wonderful way to choose color combos. Thanks for this clean and simple card with a wow factor. Not easy to do.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you layered the word happy.. I assume you fussy cut the darker paper out. Thanks for sharing
