A Colorful Happy Birthday

Here is a quick and easy card that uses up some of those small Designer Series Paper scraps that we all have hanging around. I used the Tailored Tag Punch to cut out pieces of Designer Series Paper called Picture Perfect Party. Then I used the Happy Birthday Thinlits Die with some Basic Black cardstock and layers it on top. It was very simple, yet colorful and I think it makes a great masculine card. Ok, well maybe not with the Berry Burst, Pool Party and Peekaboo Peach cardstock background but you could change that easily for the man in your life who may not appreciate pink (or purple).

My son, Sam, daughter in law, Tara, Madelyn and Nolan (I am sure you already know who they are) are in the process of moving. They had to put their house on the market but needed a place for Waffles, their Sheep-a-doodle to live while the house was being shown. Waffles is very sweet, but very big and would probably scare people. Rob and I were asked to take her.

Here is a picture of Waffles:

Waffles is a very sweet dog and after a few days of Rob’s boot camp, a very well behaved dog. Waffles favorite place to sit is on the couch on top of me. Yes, I did say on top of me. She doesn’t want to sit next to me. She wants to be as close as possible. She definitely does not like me working on my computer when we are sitting on the couch. Her head plops down on top of the keyboard and won’t move until I am rubbing her belly.

Here is a picture of Waffles with Emma, my Golden Retriever (on the right) and my other son, David’s Golden Retriever on the left. When I look at this picture I want to start singing the song from Sesame Street that goes “one of these things is not like the others. One of these things just isn’t the same…..🎶🎵.
