Happy Thursday, everyone….we’re on the downhilll slide of the week!  And brrr, it’s been a chilly one.  I thought winter was over!  My card today was inspired by my friend Shawn; she posted a picture on FB from Easter  wearing this cute red and white polka-dotted dress….adorable!  She’s adorable too!  So this card is in honor of her, LOL!  And around this time of the year, now that the retired lists are out, I find myself using sets and accessories that I know will soon be gone!  So here we go with a bright, monochromatic birthday card:

I used the birthday sentiment from Delightful Dozen (I cannot for the life of me figure out why they’re retiring this one) and the cake from Make A Wish.  I used papers from Polka Dot Parade; Stripes embossing folder; Silver Glimmer paper; the Scallop Border punch, Stitched Real Red ribbon and Dazzling Diamonds glitter….all of which are retiring!  I used my Stamp-a-ma-Jig to position the sentiment along the left side of the panel, then stamped the cake, stamped it again on a scrap, cut it out and popped it up….rhinestones enhance the “flames”!  Oh, and I added a little glimmer star for fun, too!

The gals at Freshly Made Sketches never disappoint me, I can’t go the week without using their sketch:

Another card for my birthday stash!

I didn’t have Cassidy last week because I was supposed to be on jury duty, so yesterday was actually the first day I watched her this week.  My friend knitted a little Nemo for me to give her for Easter:

She loved it, and made it “swim” all around the kitchen floor! 

Enjoy your day!
