Create! CCMC289

February 9, 2014

Today is a very special day for me.  It is my sons, Joe and John's birthday.  I can not believe they are 34 today.  I am not sure where all the time has gone, but I am so thankful that I was blessed with these two wonderful boys to love and nurture throughout the years.  They are everything to me and I love them, forever!  (Don't you love the 1980's decor!)


Now, on to my card for today.  I wanted to enter the Create With Connie and Mary Challenge.  The sketch was was interesting to me.  There were so many possibilities-----  I bought the Etcetera Designer Series Paper because I loved the colors in the pack.  I have never seen a card made with the Night of Navy clothing pattern paper.  Although I don't sew, my Mom did and she made all my clothing growing up.  I thought this paper was perfect for this card.  I hope you agree!
