Time to celebrate....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA!!!!

And what a great way to celebrate....check out this incredible deal!

I was a little late getting to this week's SOTW. But it is just SOOO cute so I had to create a card with it!

I was trying to keep the colors and patterns I chose for this card more on the masculine side of things....I guess mostly because if I was giving this card to someone it would be going to a man...so definately didn't want to make it girly...at all.....hehe!

Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock; My Mind's Eye Lime Twist - Out of the Blue 6X6 Paper Pad; My Mind's Eye Nostalgia 6X6 Paper Pad; X-press it Cardstock; Memento Ink - Tuxedo; Copics; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Antique Linen; Divine Twine - Orange; Button - Basic Grey; Scallop Edge Punch - EK Success/Stampin' Up; Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Ovals; Photo Corners - Misc.

And now, off you go to check out what Stephanie Muzzulin has created for you....

Just in case you get lost along your way...here is a list of all the DT girls hoping this week....be sure to leave a comment on each of their blogs as we will be selecting three random comments to win a $20 Unity Stamp Co gift certificate!
