Birthday Card for my Brother in Law

 Click on picture to enlarge
I needed to make a card for this week's Twisted Sister Challenge at Split Coast Stampers...Issued by me this week.  I was stuck as to what I could make as a challenge then I thought about the Twisted Sisters Challenge and how the key words are TSC, and I thought why not the letters TSC...
So many options with that...Just use things on the card to represent TSC.

Mine are...

 T  Three Seagulls on my card...for Three of something...
 S  Seagulls,  Sand, Stickers...Stamped Sentiment
 C  Clouds, Chair, and California (The photograph of the Light house is one I took in California...)

Fairly easy card for me to make...Just using a photograph and Jolee stickers...(and I cased a card similar to one I had made before).

It seems like I'm always late anymore in sending off my cards...so I make a quick card, so I can finally send off a card on time...in fact, if I get this card off today or tomorrow, I will actually be early for a change.

"At birthday time, it's good to remember our friends and family.  Actually, it's good to remember anything!"

Thank you for visiting my blog today,
Blessings,
Jill

When I first posted this card...I wanted to add this link but I couldn't find where the previous card was that I made with this photo...As you can see...I cheated...and cased my own card...(I needed a quick card...so I could finally mail a birthday card ahead of time...instead of being late like I usually am...smile




Jeanne said in a comment about how she liked the way I did the photo...thank you Jeanne...I'm resposting the link to my August 9, 2013 post so you can see the technique I used to make the card...Thanks for the nice comments.
