Special Birthdays in July!

Two special girlfriends have birthdays this week and I’ve managed to make a card for each. I think I’m even going to get them in the mail on time!

One card is based on this week’s Mojo Monday sketch. The recipient of this one is classy, classic, and beautiful inside and out, so I went with a vintage rose print juxtaposed with rose embossing.  Finished it up with some classic colors, some pretty cotton lace, and a fussy-cut rose. I hope she will enjoy it as much as I enjoy her friendship. Thanks to the gals at Mojo Monday for an inspiring sketch.

The other card was featured here since I entered it into the Pals Paper Arts challenge last week. This card is going to a friend I don’t see often in person anymore because she lives about an hour away, but she is forever in my heart. We shared a townhome in our single days and did we ever have some fun! I hope she’ll appreciate the whimsy of these little birds who’ve gathered on a city-block to wish her “Happy Bird-day!” (And I'm hoping her sweet little girl will like it, too).

Thanks for visiting.
