MOJO483~Birthday in Purple

 First, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to HSS for choosing my Valentine Card as an Artist pick.   It's so exciting to add their badge to my blog.   

Now onto the card for today.  I was inspired again by the sketch challenge at: Mojo Monday and this time I stuck to the design as closely as possible.

              

My last post/entry I went a bit abstract I suppose if that's what you want to call it, I challenged the challenge.. lol~ you can see that at: Summer Day or just scroll down my blog.    Now for this card,

I used stampin up stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge, and Mixed Bunch sets.  I also used the coordinating punch  for the bunch (haha) set.  I embossed the background with a pretty petal design and used my Happy Birthday die from Lawn Fawn, I cut it down so it would fit there, and left off the "to you" part.  It's a Great die.   I then added some sparkle twine to spruce it up a bit and match the center brad.  I just got my butterfly punch, so of course excitement took over and  I had to add that to the card too, with a little pearl.. NO it's not real, but it does look nice, eh?   So there you have it.  I would love to know which card you like better.  

Also wanted to post a picture of my little guy.  He cracks me up.  Even though he has a toy line up behind him, he's got that sweet little look on his face as if to say..but I want you to play with me.   Don't look at the carpet.. To which I'm sure all eyes are now gazed upon.. well be warned, there is a nice layer of fur that has taken up residence there.  I could vacuum it 4x a day and still not make much progress.   Good thing we have such a small home.  

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.  I sure do appreciate the love and support.  Please sign up to follow my blog.  That would make this gal super happy.  

Keep Smiling 😊Keep Stamping
