Today is a special day…it is my husband's Birthday and after working a long Tax Season he is doing something for himself and also something that he is passionate about! He is going to a Boy Scout Fundraiser that they are doing skeet shooting!
John dedicates a lot to our local Boy Scout office and I know that this is going to be a great day for him! The other passion that he has is golfing, and something that he put on the back burner while raising our children but now he is ready to get back into it!
Today's card idea was one that I CASED from local Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Jane Rozes! I just loved it and I knew that I was going to use her great card to base John's Birthday Card from…just loved it!
The only Stamp Set used was the Sassy Salutations, one on my "A" list and one that I always feels gives you a fun look! I did use the handy-dandy – Stamp-a-ma-Jig to get my placement of the sentiments just perfect… The red I used was the Riding Hood Red! There literally would have been no way for me to get that in the PERFECT spot that I wanted if I had not used this great tool!
The "green" was punched from the Extra Large Oval Punch using the Regals Designer Paper…then I just used a simple hole punch to make "the cup"! The "ball" was super easy and cute as I first ran a scrap piece of Whisper White Card Stock thru the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots Folder…then using the 1/2 " circle punch I POPPED it out! How simple is that!
Using the white to be the background classic look, I accented it with some of the classics…Night of Navy and Crumb Cake. Using the Stampin' Vitamins that I love so much, Stampin' Deminsionals, lifted this super cute card up – (even the golf ball)!!!
There is nobody as special than my wonderful husband in having April 20th be a special day! He is the BEST man in the world and as I say….the BEST blind date I ever was one (well, the only blind date I was on!)
I was sooooo incredible proud of him when he told me that he ordered a new set of golf clubs!!! WOOT-WOOT I thought, I was so glad that he is wanting to take time "for him"…not only is he so deserving of it – it will bring him joy to be outdoors and leave the office behind!
John, hope your day is as special as you are! you are a wonderful and loving husband, the best Dad in the world and truly my very best friend! Many more happy and healthy returns!
I hope you enjoyed today's card and I hope that this is a great weekend for all!
Our family continues to keep Boston in our thoughts and prayers, so sad! As always, I am an email away and I love to help you and inspire you to reach your goals! You all are the best!
Until tomorrow…..
