July Stamp of the Month - Highlight Reel

Nothing like posting last minute.  This is a fun birthday card I made for a monthly card swap I participate in.  This card was made using some images from the JULY Stamp of the Month - "Highlight Reel".

I found this stamp set a little harder to use for card making.  I think it might be more useful for a scrapbooker or mini albums.  Nonetheless I made it work.

The papers are from the Central Park paper pack.  I stamped the balloons on different papers,cut them out and popped them up on a image I stamped on one of the new Stitched Circle Dies.

The White Ribbon is new as well and is think and really easy to work with.  It's cotton and it takes ink well if you want to change the color.

Here's what the entire "Highlight Reel" set looks like:

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy 40th Chico!

Chico turns the big 4-0 today! Even though I'm still a year older than him, at least he can't give me a hard time anymore about me being in my 40's.

Rose had a party for Chico on Saturday at her new house and it was a pretty good turnout. He knew his mom was making dinner for him but didn't know we had invited a "few" extra people. :) This was Chico opening some of his cards. He looks a little embarrassed.


I know he enjoys being around his family & friends, so it was nice that we could have people there to celebrate with him.

The boys and I love you very much Chico and we hope you have a wonderful day today and that this is the beginning of a fantastic year for you!

Happy Birthday Mateo!
