happy, happy, happy birthday to you!

Hold on to your hands guys and gals! This mama just got back from a Girls Weekend Away, yes that is right 2 whole nights away and 2 whole days of crafting!!! I have not had a full weekend away in over 8 years... Yep bought time :)

I was so lucky to be able to spend that relaxing time with one of my very best friends (who was so kind to host) and was joined by many other of my crafting besties!!!

I got a load of crafting done and was able to play along in so many delightful challenges... Here is post #3 of 11 - yes you heard me 11 cards!!!

This card was inspired by the following challenges:



Seize the Birthday - birthday theme using red, white & blue


Hand Stamped Sentiments - "nautical" red, white & blue inspiration photo


Fab 'n Funky - birthday theme


My Card:


Take the time to let your creativity bloom!

I was so cross eyed from fussy cutting the small anchor that I did not realize I placed the flag DSP upside down lol

  3. Cool card!! It is so well designed and crafted. I thought the anchor was a charm until I read the last line. I enjoy the upside down flags! I sometimes make upside down and left side opening cards--it happens and that's the joy of handmade. Thank you for playing along with our inspiration challenge at Had Stamped Sentiments. Smiles, Elizabeth
