Happy Birthday Card

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Birthday Wit

I thought it would be fun to have the words play

the major roll on the banners.  So that is what I did. 

I carried the ribbon through on the inside too, however,

I didn't get it to lay flat, and by the time I tried to fix 

the ribbon, it had already glued tight.

It was a wonderful way to use up some DSP scraps. 

I've been in a bright sunshine mode every since 

I learned how to make this cute little daisy crate.  

I do believe I will add some die cut grass to the bottom

of it.  I think it will make it look a tad more finished. 

This lovely cardinal was sitting outside my kitchen

window singing as I prepared lunch today. 

I have to tell you all a quick little story.

Last night I was video chatting with my daughter around

11:30pm, when I noticed a shadow on the crown molding.

Well, I just thought perhaps because I am tired and my 

eyes are weak that it was nothing, well the shadow starting

moving, and gosh anyways it was a centipede.  Now I loathe

these things, anyways I new I'd have to arm myself with a 

flyswatter and my husband's huge shoe.  SO as I watched him 

round the dining room crown molding he was coming in 

hot at record speed towards my side of the table, well

I told my daughter I'm ready should he ever make it down 

the wall so I can smash him to smithereens.   Well as 

luck of the draw would have it, the darn thing tested his 

ability to go over the round part of the molding and before I 

even knew what was happening, geronimo he plummeted down

smack dab onto my new snake plant, well at this point I was screaming

and raising quite a ruckus.  HP my faith buddy come out to examine

the situation, and then proceeded under the table for a nap.  Well,

my darling daughter stuck with me online the whole time.  My 

husband gets home from work, and looks for a few minutes as 

well, and said no worries, he's gone.  I am like yeah until he shows up again.

Sigh.  The joy of living in an old house.  Daily battles with trying to claim 

our home from these creatures.  Every day it's a mouse thing or some 

other insect/spider thing.   Any ways we have most of our pantry items 

in plastic bins, and traps all over the place for the rodents but these 

centipedes are no fun.  So today I was in the bathroom washing up

after being outside a few minutes in the garden and I was shocked

there he was crawling up the bathroom wall.  Didn't he think he 

was special scaling walls, well my sweetheart came to the rescue

immediately and I'm happy to report one down.  I don't feel a bit blue

about it, and perhaps might even sleep better knowing it.  However,

I can't let myself think there could be a family of them.  

I am not prepared for that. YIKES.  haha

Furthermore, I'd like to know why he couldn't stay on the wall 

with all those legs?  Creepy things. Ugh.  

That's all folks, thanks for reading my silly story. 

Psalm 104:12KJV

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation,

which sing among the branches.
