This is where I have been! And A Happy Birthday Card!

WoWzer!! We have been so busy doing Family things! This is where my Daughter and I have been:


We went to the Grand Canyon! It was truly amazing! I have lived in Arizona for almost 20 years and this was my first time seeing it! We had a great time!

I am so behind on visiting and hope to catch up this weekend and early next week! I did spend a few minutes here and there and came up with this card for a few challenges!





I used my gypsy and created this scallop square card base, cut on Kraft Card-stock
Bird is from Give A Hoot
Mini Scallop squares are from Cuttlebug Die
Liquid Pearls
Ribbon from Stash
Paper from K and Company
Tim Holtz Distressed ink Walnut Stain

Entering into:
My Craft Spot: For the Birds

The Kraft Journal: Fun Shapes ( I used the scallop square)

A Muse Studio: Boy Oh Boy

Celebrate the Occasion: Birthday + Shape Card

Frosted Design: Kraft Paper

Birthday Sundae: B-Day + Sentiment

    Wonderful bird birthday card. Especially like the shades of blue. Visited the Grand Canyon several yrs ago. More recent visited Utah Bryce Canyon & Zion National Park. I enjoyed Bryce Canyon more than Grand Canyon.
