Mimi, Myself, and I: Jumping Geometrics

Happy Birthday, Sister!

My sister turns 40 today so I got her a pair of reading glasses--she's totally going to need them. I am the big sister, so I just KNOW this is a fact, OK. She might be taller than me, but I will ALWAYS be the big sister.

I made her a special card with the retiring Gypsy Heart patterned paper from the Paper Fundamentals Adventure Palette from Close to My Heart. Yep, I realize it isn't Fundamental Friday yet, but I had to get this one in today! ;)

I used a couple of stamp sets for this card: Playful Pups from Mama Elephant, and the Jumping Geometrics Background stamps from Close to My Heart to give the blanket some texture. I do need to learn a bit more coloring technique, but I LOVE coloring!

See the special sheen of the embossed hearts on this side of the paper?

I used some of my MCT stitched dies to frame out the main part of the card and another from Mama Elephant to cut the edge of the blanket.

Love adding a simple touch to the inside of a card!

Happiest of birthdays to you sis! Cannot wait to celebrate it with you! :)

I would most humbly ask that you do not reproduce my original creations to use for sale or for entry into any contests. That said, feel free to scraplift any of my designs that you are so inclined to while giving credit to the designer as I do on my blog. It is the ultimate form of flattery to me to have someone want to do this, and I don't mind one bit as long as credit is given where it is due. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
