HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANITA!!!

 


Happy, happy birthday dear friend!  As usual, I'm a bit late to the party (will 'splain later).  I hope you had a fabulous day filled with uninterrupted craft time, warm sunny skies, yummy b-day cake and a glass or two (or ten) of nice red wine! You are an amazing woman, blessed with a sincere, kind & caring soul. I feel honored to call you friend!

And....it was so dang cool to meet you in 'for real life'.

I decided to case one of my all time  favorite "Anita cards"! This chorus line of sweet birds seriously rock...take a look at the shading - it`s FABULOUS!


Anita`s fussy cutting is amazing! Mine isn`t...so I stamped the images directly on the card stock. The colors truly are much nicer in real life (Tweety on the right is actually yellow!). Hopefully a nice sunny day tomorrow will yield better results.

I`m off to  Bev`s blog now to join the party! Rumor has it that there may be a `beef cake` or two (and I`m not talking party cake ladies) joining in the celebrations....just sayin`.....
 
Nancy (Scrapper at Heart) has just let me know that the theme over at Paper Players is Feathered Friends so my card will also be headed in their direction. Thanks Nancy! There are some really 'tweet' cards posted - check them out!

Happy Birthday pal :)

    Awwww....!!!! Such a darling CASE of Anita's sweet little birdy card! Love your take; I can "see" her card in yours, but it's got your signature style all over it. I'm guessing she's going to LOVE this! She is a 'sucker' for cute little birds, isn't she?! And you've got some mad coloring skills yourself girly. And shadows?...Dang! Well done my friend! Oh, and thanks for the shout out. Those 'helpers' are something, aren't they? lol Miss you. Bev

    To coin a phrase, Geri ... I'm smiling all over my face! This is so fabulous ... such a sweet gathering of wee birds, all so brilliantly coloured ... and complete with their own little shadows ... LOVE it! I'm thinking these guys are already at the party ... chatting among themselves while waiting for those hunks to serve them drinky poohs ... see you over there for a glass of something bubbly! Thanks so much for your lovely words, my dear friend ... and for making my happy birthday even happier! Hugs & Bisous, Bisous, Anita :)

    Miss Geri....this is just too darn cute! From top to bottom cute...Love your sweet family of colorful birdies, just so fun. Can I come over to stamp with you??? I would love to borrow your bird stamps. I told myself after seeing all of Anita's amazing bird cards I had to treat myself to one of these sets and I love that you have some to play with...that's why I want to come to your house, I will even BRAVE the cold! Sweet card for a very sweet lady!
