It has been so long since I colored up a 'Bella', that I decided to make this card for one of the gals at Flushmate...is it a birthday card image? Well, it can be! lol
Judy works in the office portion of Flushmate, so she gets to celebrate her birthday while most of the shop is off. Before the whole gang left for the holidays, we had a small lunch and I made this card for her. I love pink and orange together! I love these dogs and I love watching as others get older!
So, this Stamping Bella stamp belongs to a friend, and I had recently stamped her out...I did add my own sentiment and the inside says 'celebrate with your friends!' I used my .005 pen and voila! I turned it into a birthday card. I love the coral/orange ribbon from SU, a perfect compliment, don't ya think?
Well friends, today I am heading off to the Detroit Institute of Arts with the family. I have been meaning to get down there and see it since it has been renovated, and it has taken me almost a year? I think Jim and I have determined that we have not been there since Jordan was just starting to walk. Time to go get some culture because tonight we are gonna rock out with some friends and play Rock Band on Playstation, and Apples 2 Apples!
see ya soon!

YOU can make any card into anything...this image makes a darling birthday card! Have a fun day!
