Birthday cards

Today is my son's 25 birthday.  Wow...I'm not old enough...but my body tells me something different :)

Here is the card I made him, and one for daughter-in-law whose birthday isn't until September.

 This the first time I used the die cut for the background.  Yes, I know I'm supposed to cut it completely out but I wanted more white in the background.  I need to do more cards like this...and maybe even do a background on 12x12!

And look at all that sparkle.  My sweet DIL does not appear to be the girly-girl but she is at heart.  She likes the bling so I made the background sparkly.  I sprayed the card with adhesive and then pressed it into the glitter.  I'm quite pleased with myself.

Now, one more birthday card to make for this year and that's for my husband.  But I have until March....so what's the hurry.  I'm sure the hour before we go to dinner, I'll be in my room scurrying!

Thanks for stopping by.  Susan
