Happy Birthday

Hello friends! Boring title. I know. But...
 
...things have not been boring around here. Yesterday I had to leave work around lunch time to go to the ER for palpitations. Ugh! That's right. For no reason at all my heart rate was elevated, I was short of breath and having extra beats. One of the doctors that I work with recommended I go to the ER because she was concerned for me. Fortunately after a couple of hours, they gave me the option to spend the night or go home. Um, I will take my comfy bed, thank you. So by this morning, all of my symptoms have gone away and I am taking it easy. Thankfully I already had today off. So what better way to relax than head to my craftroom. 
 
Leah and I spent some time crafty time together which I love so much. She made a card completely out of washi tape. Yep, totally her idea. I created this card for a sweet little girl that will turn 3 years old just one day after my Joshua.
 
 
This card plays along with three challenges: CAS-ual Fridays, CAS on Sunday and Curtain Call Challenge. My first intention was to use small heart circle from DeNami Design for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge: use hearts in a summer palette. So when I saw the gorgeous photo over at Curtain Call, I knew exactly what colors to choose. The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays: CAS-ual Elegance.  And lastly, the challenge over at CAS on Sunday is to create a birthday card. I can't remember the last time I created one card to play along with 3 challenges.
 

 
Thanks for stopping by!

  3. What a bright, fun card for anyone, especially a little three year old.

    And I'm glad you're feeling better. I knew part of that "group text" was meant for someone other than me. lol
