happy birthday

Good morning friends!  I know that, once again, it has been awhile since I've been here.  I've been going through a little bit of a crafting funk but I think it is getting better which is why I'm here to share with you today.

My niece is having a birthday in about a week so I wanted to make her a card.  She is turning 21!!  I can hardly believe it!  She is attending the Air Force Academy in Colorado so I tried to make the card center around that.

 The Air Force colors are blue and grey so I went with that color scheme.  The image is Liberty - Super Girl (because you know...all of our military members are super heroes!) from Stamp AnnieThing.  The papers are from Doodle Bug Design and are from a couple of different packs.  I've used dies from Jaded Blossom for her party hat, rectangle cuts, and flag.  The happy birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossom's So Many Birthdays 2 set (40% off stamps at JB right now!).  Liberty and AF logos you see I cut with my  new Brother CutNScan...that machine is amazing!  Due to the hat and flag hanging off the side of the card I made an envelope that is 5"x6" to make sure nothing gets all bent up.  The sketch is a little altered but I used the Kraftin' Kimmie sketch for the month. 

Well, there you have it!  I'm excited to do some more crafting today and be able to share it soon.  You'll want to keep stopping back as I've finished creating for the MHKDesigns new release later this month and the images/sentiments are just fabulous!

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
