Birthday Card

I'm hoping and praying that everyone survived Hurricane Irene without too much damage.  I have two brothers and their families that live in New Bern, North Carolina, one of the hardest hit areas.  We haven't heard from them but have heard than many in the area are without power so hopefully they will contact me when they can.

This is a birthday card I sent to a special friend.  I had just used A Child's Year to make an anniversary card and thought this girl was cute.  I cut her out of purple and used the same color under the lacy border punch.

The white was embossed with my cuttlebug using Birds and Swirls and the checked piece was from my scrap drawer.  There is no sentiment on the front so it could be used for any occasion.

I just finished 7 pillow covers for my granddaughter so now I'm free to create cards and layouts.  I wonder what challenges lie in store for me this week?
