It’s Laura Weed’s Special Day

You may or may not know Laura Weed, but for anyone on the Stampendous Design Team, she’s like our guiding light – a port in the storm – the fabulous lady who can juggle 20 things at once and still share lots of humor with us.  She has many jobs at Stampendous and keeping us all on track has to be one of her most challenging assignments. *giggle*

 

Members of the Stampendous Design Team are gathering together to wish Laura a very happy 50th birthday.  No 50 year old has ever looked as young and as happy as this lady.  We love you Laura and hope today brings you all the best wishes and lavish attention you so much deserve.

 

My card, in honor of Laura, was created using two great Stampendous sets, Daisy Stem Trio and Rose Branch Border.

On a black base I layered white and Teal Medium..  I punched out the Frosted Teal squares and rounded opposite corners and then using a slightly smaller square punch, I punched out 4 white cardstock squares and rounded those corners too.  Using gray ink, I stamped the flowers onto the white cardstock, then stamped again using black in.

I colored the black images using Copic Markers and adhered them to the card base.

The sentiment is from the Rose Branch Border set and I snipped the sentiment apart so that I could make a space between the “happy” and “birthday”, large enough to fit in the chipboard “50”.  I adorned the sentiment a bit more by added 6 tiny crystal hearts to either side of the sentiment.  I then adhered two strips of the ribbon along the top and bottom border of the sentiment.

I will get this off into the mail to Laura, who won’t receive it on time (bad me), but it WILL get to her.

If you would like to wish Laura a happy birthday yourself, pop on over to the Stampendous Facebook page.  You can send Laura your well wishes and see the projects that the other Design Team members have created for this special day for a special lady.  And if you haven’t done so already, be sure to LIKE this fan page so you can be updated on what’s currently going on with Stampendous.

I would have gotten this card put together sooner, but I spent the weekend enjoying the company of my daughter, Christina, and her boyfriend, James – who were both here for a visit.  We don’t see each other often – only about twice a year, so I didn’t want to take any of that precious time away.  We had a great time, visiting, exchanging our Christmas presents, watching movies, and even slipping out long enough to see the new Muppet Movie where we BOTH teared up and cried when Kermit sang, The Rainbow Connection.  Sometimes Tina and I are more alike than she cares to admit…we are both big softies.  I hated to see her go, as I always do, but pray for another chance to be together soon.

Thanks for looking in today.  I really do appreciate your visits and your comments.  Until next time, find peace and have a wonderful day.
