Every since I was a little kid I have loved my birthday!! : ) my parents made our day special and my amazing family has continued that tradition! heeheehee
We are having a wonderful time with Katie. Yesterday was a full day of fun but before all that just the two of us "hiked" around this beautiful Lake : ) It is mostly a leisurely stroll but there is one difficult part where you indeed have to hike a bit.
Here are some Geese we saw sunning themselves on the shore.
Awww! right? I hope you can see what looks like strands of pure gold woven through their soft down as the sun hit them just right : )
I didn't really make this Birthday card for myself! LOL but I did have fun making it for the "Background Stamping" challenge at Serendipity Stamps!
I inked up my Sun Gardens image in Real Red ink and stamped two images - side by side - on my top panel. Next I colored just a few of the flowers with my Prisma Pencils. I layered some scalloped black cs behind the panel and my fun Happy die on the front before popping up the panel with foam tape : ) Easy Peasy!!
I hope you'll join the Serendipity Stamps challenge. It is a month long challenge and there is a prize!! woo hoo!!
Today we will celebrate by doing a little more touring - then going to Bear Country USA! (love that place!!) and finally out to eat at one of my favorite restaurants.
Thank you for stopping by today! I love it when you visit : ) I would love to know YOUR birthdate!
Patti

Happy, happy birthday (a little bit late now, but still heartfelt)! It sure looked and sounded like you had a marvelous day. Your celebratory card is beautiful. I really like the stamping in red, with the random coloring in. Way to make this pop, along with the bits of black. So striking! Thanks for sharing the photos. The sweet young lady is very pretty and those geese look sweet (for the moment). I can tell your weekend has been amazing. :)
