Birthday Keep Coming!

I made a couple of very quickie birthday cards yesterday.  March is a busy month in our family for birthdays.  Yesterday was my brother's 55th, which we celebrated with family and his closest friends at a great little Italian restaurant over near the University of Washington.  Yummmy food, good conversation, and generally a nice relaxing time by all.  He was surprised to see such a great group gathered to honor him.  :)

Here are the card I made, both inspired by Pinterest (I seriously do not know what I would do without Pinterest!)

Drop by with any questions!  All materials used in the cards are available through Close to My Heart in the current Idea Book.

Happy 81, Mom!!!

Mom's birthday is January 1.  Yep, she was a New Year's Baby in 1932.  She's an amazing, amazing active and independent 81 year old.  My brother and I met her on New Years in downtown Seattle to celebrate her birthday and here is the card I got her, which was shamelessly copied from Vickie Wizniuck, a wonderfully amazingly creative Close to My Heart consultant.
