Judy's Birthday

     WOW!  It sure has been awhile since I've been here.  My biggest (longest) reason for not posting was five (yes, five) fun filled days in Lancaster, PA with my good friends and fellow gigglers Lou Ann, Shannon, and Jeannette.  It was the annual CKC convention and it was GREAT!    Vickie and Sheila also stopped in for a couple days.  Then, a still unknown rash and crappy cold for a week (or two).  A family reunion to host.  A Stampin' Up party.  Well, it's a good thing that some card making events came up, or I probably wouldn't have these done either. 

     This is a birthday card for my friend Judy.  The gigglers got together and celebrated with fun and cards, but I think her favorite part was that her son, daughter-in-law and her two adorable grandchildren were there from Germany. 

     Anyway, the card.....I got a couple stamp sets from Crafty Secrets and I just love the vintageness (?) of them.  Aren't those sentiments cute.  The teacup is from Heartfeft colored with Copics and distressed with Distress Ink.  The pin and staples are Tim Holtz and the paper, lace and ribbons are scraps.  Hope you like it.  Hope she liked it.
