Hi there everyone! Sorry to have been away all week! It's been crazy around here! Last week was very busy at work and also with things at home, Halloween, and lots of other fun stuff! Did you have a good Halloween? Did you dress up? Are you on sugar overload like me?
So...today is my birthday! I've been enjoying it all week! LOL. My friends have been spoiling me rotten and Friday night I got a bright red manicure! The hubs took me to San Francisco for the day yesterday and I shopped...a lot! Yay! It was the perfect day. This morning we went out for breakfast and now I'm in the craft room enjoying the day. Later I would love to just lay down and read a book. I have been reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. If you would like to see a few pictures from San Francisco yesterday, you can check out my INSTAGRAM FEED!
In honor of my birthday, I thought I would make a birthday card to share with you! I saw THIS IDEA on the Paper-Source website and have been wanting to copy it. Today, it was the perfect card to make - CAS and quick! I used my super cool Hero Arts Neon Inks and a favorite confetti stamp from Savvy Stamps. The die and the word sentiment are both from Papertrey Ink. Have a look!
I stamped the confetti image in three shades of neon ink on my background piece and let it dry. Then I stamped 'happy' in black ink and mounted my die cut. Easy peasy! The hardest part of this car was choosing which colors to use!
Here are my supplies....
Thanks for coming by today! Be sure to check in tomorrow for the beginning of an awesome release week for Taylored Expressions! First sneak peeks go live at 7am Pacific Time. Toodles! XOXO
Thank you to everyone who sent me a card or a facebook message - I really appreciate it and feel like one lucky girl! :-)
SO glad you had an awesome birthday, my friend! And what an adorable card! The neon confetti is absolutely fabulous!

I like that stamp. I think it would make nice filler cards for Project Life.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday (month -- as I like to get as much celebration as possible). I started my celebrations tonight but have two more days to wait until the actual day of commemoration. Love your card -- I need to get back into making cards, as I have lots of materials but haven't pulled them out lately...Wishing you a fabulous year ahead!
