I made this card for a friend for her birthday.  It's another box card.  These cards are a little bit time consuming to make but I enjoy making them.  I found the directions for this card here...

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  (brings back memories of Mr. Rodgers on TV)

If it had been just a little but Warmer outside today, I would have tried to move my crafting outdoors, just a bit chilly yet.

Birthday Card for my sister...

This is the card I made for my sister.  I had made her a box card last year for her birthday, and she liked it so much that she told me that she reluctantly gave her card to a close friend for her birthday.  I purposely made the card that when you opened the box card...inside the box at the bottom was two inserts one with her name on it signed by me...and one underneath that she could reuse the card and give it to someone else, and I also gave her an extra envelope.  I told her since she like that idea so much I would make another box card for her this year.  Ginny, is actually my step-sister but she feels more like a sister, and we try to get together to visit at least once a month.  I think one of the reasons we're close is that we didn't become sisters till we were both in our twenties...(No fights to remember as young children...LOL!)   Ginny grew up with four brothers and no sisters, till her  father married my mother.  I'm several years older than she is...but our birthday's are only one week apart,  and we usually try to get together on our Birthday Week!  I look forward to that each year.

For this card, I dry embossed two panels of an Anna Griffin Embossing folder.  I made my rolled roses with Quilled Creations, Blooming roses, and cut my circle with spellbinder dies...(Lacey Circles) my sentiment was stamped with a stamp from Stampin' Up (Elementary Elegance)
