19 years ago today I was blessed with a beautiful daughter! Happy Birthday Hannah – you are a beautiful, independent, confident young women with a great future ahead! Your Dad and I are so very proud of you and you never seize to amaze us!

Another reason why this day is so special is it would have been my Mom's 81st Birthday! It seems weird and empty not to be able to celebrate this special day together and we all miss her so…having Hannah born on her special day was a true gift…something that I feel was a message – 2 amazing women being able to have shared the same day of birth! So special!

Onto my card as I think this is pretty special all in itself! I was first inspired by a design that was actually on the Stampin Up website in an "ad" – you can get some great ideas in looking at our website and even looking at the catalog!

Clean, crisp and simple! Love everything about it! The stamp set and embossing folder both came from Sale-a-bration ( I sure hope you were able to take advantage of these goodies)

True confession of a stamper….I first stamped the image with early espresso and didn't think I needed the Stamp-a-ma-jig….MISTAKE – it was off centered!

Needless to say I was bummed but I did a "Susan fix" – a trick that I always used to do when I scrap-booked a lot! When you make a mistake – no biggie….just stamp the image on a piece of paper….freehand cut it – mat it on a coordinating piece of card stock and WHAM….done!

The printed paper came form the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper – another product in my "A list" to have…fun…FUN prints that will bring a smile to your face!

I wanted to make a "tag" look to the body of the card so after doing a quick snip-snip to the upper corners and then punching a hole….putting a piece of gumball green satin stitched ribbon.

The bingo finale was the Madison Avenue flower popped out and then a simple button popped on with a glue dot after being tied off with a piece of "Bakers Twine"

I think this is a great card and the sentiment is the perfect message for my Hannah!I would love to see Stampin' Up come out with this stamp in a single one…wouldn't you? Sentiments can really set the tone for your card projects!

Hannah…your Dad and I wish you many more years of health, happiness, fun and laughter and may we always keep Gi-Gi in our heart on her special day as well!

Until tomorrow…make it a great day and it is a special Easter Weekend! Let's hope the weather is great! Even if it is not sunny where you live…find some inner sunshine to bring you joy!
