Hi friends - sending blessings your way and praying your week is off to a good start! I'm on pins and needles this week as we head back for results after weeks of tests, waiting. I thank you so much for the emails, texts, cards and all the wonderful words of comfort you have shared for my husband and I. Coincidentally, our Anniversary is this week - 19 years married (but 28 years together), 4 beautiful children, and a lifetime of wonderful memories. I ask of Him nightly to bless us 28 more years together - minimum - *smile* and that His mercy reach down this far and wrap us in His loving arms of hope.
But how about sharing a smile!! How this card made me smile to make, so bright and whimsical and full of color - you all know how I love COLOR! It's for the new Twisted Tuesday Challenge that starts today -- Make a Birthday card for a child! The "twist" is that you must include a funny sentiment to go with it and I was truly stumped on that one! I have tons of funny but in order match this adorable PI Birthday girl I created one that sounded like it matched. And - forgive me! - but the balloon design on this particular PI drives me crazy that it's cut off! :x So I made my own by extending it outward to make it a full balloon and added the sentiment to the inside. You know me, I adore doing the inside of my cards as much as the front.
