A Special Birthday

Today I have a card for a Birthday,  my Mother's 82nd, simple, soft, and feminine. Kinda just like she is.  I will create something very special for inside but just have to have the quiet moments to put it all together.
I used the Cuttlebug Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Martha Stewart Deco Fan Corner Punch, & the Butterfly Punch, Spellbinders Oval & Scalloped Oval Dies, Verve Sentiment from Blessings, some Ribbon & Sparkle from my Stash. I am entering into the following Challenges:
Joan's Gradens Challenge #9 Pink & White & 4 Corners Punched
Our Creative Corner  It's Embossable
Simon Says Challenge  Sing it Baby  (Happy Birthday)
Frosted Designs  Celebrate Life
Alphabet Challenge  O is for Ovals
Ooh LA LA Challenge #59 Birthday
Flutter by Wednesday Challenge #116  A Butterfly
If you want to have some inspiration, stop by the above blogs, all have a great DT and the cards are so nice. Some have prizes and all offer a fun time. Sometimes a new blog just hits you and you spend sooooooo much time peeping thru it.  Hope you like my card.
Thanks for stopping by, become a follower, as I might offer up some candy soon. Enjoy the weekend. It will just fly by as I think our grandkids will be coming to stay the week, before school starts. Will be great fun, simple menu's, playing at the park, swimming, maybe making cookies & helping grandpa around the farm & in his garden.
