I had a special birthday card to make this week! Joe's birthday is Sunday and he will be 80!! He is looking at me and saying what!! I tell him it is only a number! So he tells me he will remember that when it is my turn! LOL!! We are all going out to eat at a special restaurant in NJ that he likes, so before things get too hectic I got busy and made him a card. For my base card, I used one of my favorite colors - Pacific Point. I only had one layer on this card of Whisper White. I used one of my favorite stamp set - # of Years and decorated the front using Grapefruit Grove and Pear Pizazz inks.
Then I used my Happy Birthday Thinlets set and # of Years with the Pacific Point CS. I ended up cutting the Happy Birthday apart and inserting the numbers in between. I really liked how it turned out.
I used the same stamp set to decorate the inside and the sentiment. I really couldn't make up my mind what card I wanted to make him but I'm happy with my decision. Our weather here is still being crazy with heat and rain but Sunday it is suppose to be nice, so I will keep my fingers crossed. Have a great weekend.

Yes, it's only a number, but it sure sneaks up on you. We all just keep on keeping on. Your card is perfect. Pacific Point is such a beautiful blue, and I really love the sentiment inside.
