Birthday Cards

My birthday is coming up and I have received several wonderful cards.  I will hold onto them a bit longer before I post them here.  I am a member of the Birthday Club at Club Posh.  Each month you need to send a card to the members that are celebrating their birthday.  In return, you get a card from each member during your birthday.  How awesome is that?  I have sent out cards to the April birthdays.  I'm pretty sure I'm safe to post it here, they should have them by now.  I went with a few items out of my usual comfort zone with this card, plus several tried & true methods.  I used my slice to cut butterflues out of the card opening and then lined my card with Mariposa paper.  I'm trying to use more patterned papers.  I'm really liking the look.

My son, Kane, needed a card for a Sweet Sixteen card.  He wanted it to be girly & pink.  This card is about as pink as can be.  He mad a bunch of the design choices and I think he did pretty darn good!
