1st Birthday

Hello! 

I hope everyone had a relaxing time last week!  It seems like I've been on hiatus-- I blame it on the turkey-- so I'm back today with a birthday card for Heidi's favorite cousin, Lily!  Lily, the aussie-doodle puppy, just celebrated her first birthday, so, naturally, Heidi insisted we send a birthday card... 

"Please, Mom, please...!"  "Ok, fine, but you're doing the fussy-cutting!" 

Somehow our deal didn't work out... I guess making cards doesn't have quite the same entertainment value as chasing a ball... 

Such is my life!  Anyways, here's our my creation: 

I used the Critters in the 'burbs set by Lawn Fawn for our Lily-inspired-puppy and the birthday banner is from Papertrey ink.  I then sponged some clouds with distress ink and cut a hill out of pattered paper.  The sentiment is also from Lawn Fawn (Sophie's sentiments) and the pretty pattered paper is from American Crafts.  I then fussy-cut the puppy and gave her a cute birthday hat with one of the flags from the PTI banner set.  Lastly, no birthday card could be complete without a little extra sparkle-- cue some stickles for the birthday hat :) 

And there you have it!  A happy birthday card for Heidi's favorite puppy cousin! 

Thanks for visiting today!
