Birthday card

Hi All,

So September is an incredibly busy birthday month for me!  I have my dad, Mom, cousin, uncle, a good friend's twins, and about 4 other friends.  Luckily for me, they don't all expect cards or I don't know how I'd fit in my day job!!  The card below is one I made for my Mom.  There is a story that goes with that, but that will have to wait for another day.  I believe this type of card is called a gate fold card.  I use it at birthdays, especially when I want to put a type written message on the inside.  This time I just hand wrote on the inside.



*Primrose petals card stock (126841)
*Patio party DSP (126916)
*Summer starfruit card stock (126839)
*Whisper white card stock (100730)
*Make a cake stamp set (W126740 / C126742)
*1/8" mini brad in silver (122941) - this is what is holding it closed!
*Stamp a ma jig (101049) - how have I lived without this for so long???

I hope you are all enjoying this short week.  For those who had to go back to work/school this week, hopefully it is all going well!  The first week back is always the hardest!

Mojo Monday Challenge 257

Well I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend!  It normally feels like the end of summer after Labour Day, but with the heat we've had, I'm sure it must still be summer!!!  Anything to delay the snow!

I followed along with the Mojo Monday challenge this week.  Holy moly there was a lot to this card.  Can you spot all of the layers?  It's not as clean as I normally like it, but I did try to stay true to my style with it!  I love the use of the mittens instead of an embellishment!
