Blog Hop: Step It Up! - February
So much for blogging more often! If you can believe it I have actually been stamping more. I just need to get back into the habit of sharing on my blog and making it work together with Instagram. Soon.
Since my birthday is on Sunday I thought I would make myself a birthday card. I would love one from you if you know my address. Any guesses how old I will be? Maybe this is my real age, maybe it isn't.
I would be perfectly happy to get either of these cards. The only thing I added to step up this card is gold. A layer of gold paper, some gold embossing and a little bit of the gold sequins on a string (seems kinda short). Since I only really made one card and I wanted everything to line up, I put the embossed "45" right on top of the numerals that were there. I like that they are a little thicker and will probably do it again if I'm not in a hurry.

I love how you're making a card for yourself! <3 I think I can actually drop one in the mail to you today, and it might even make it there on time :-O You'll have to tell me if it does...so I can record it in the annals of history.
