Happy (Belated) Birthday Marybeth!
Boo...I have been a bad friend! I knew our sweet friend Marybeth Lopez of Marybeth's Time for Paper was having a birthday in August and went off on vacation without turning the page on my calendar. I had it in my head that her birthday was on August 24th and I was so embarrassed to discover it was actually on August 4th! Bad friend! I am so sorry Marybeth. You have been so sweet to me on my birthday and have made me several beautiful cards to wish me a happy day and I go off and don't remember your special day! Please forgive me. To make up for it, at least a little bit, we have planned a belated birthday blog hop for you. Joyce and I have come up with as many "crafty friends" as we could to bring you good wishes on your birthday. Happy Birthday Marybeth...this hop is for you!
I actually made this card for you while I was on vacation...thinking I was so smart to have your card all done and ready to mail for that birthday at the end of August...NOT! At least the thought was there. I used a Lil' Inker Original Pinwheel die to make a cheery pinwheel to wish you happy birthday. The original design of this card is a Case from Jeanne Jachna of A Kept Life. She always knows how to pair patterned papers together to make a beautiful card. Here's is Jeanne's original card. I also used Lil' Inker Stitched Scallop Border die and their Stitched Sentiment Flag with a cute birthday sentiment from Sun Sentiment Stamp set. I also used one of their Fanfare Scalloped Border die along with a few punched buttons for embellishment.
