Birthdays :)

Sometimes I think about sitting down and making a bunch of birthday cards (using the one-sheet-wonder method) for the entire year of birthdays I send cards for.  But after all these years I still haven't.  

Would it be simpler?  Yes.

Would it be quicker?  Yes.

Would it be as personal?  No, I don't think so.  

I may still break down and do this for next year, since my new year's resolution was to have birthday cards sent BEFORE their birthday.  I've done...okay...but haven't succeeded every time.  But when I look at the personalized cards I made for someone, I just think...this card is "them".  

Below are a few birthday cards I've made, sorry the first one is kind of blurry.  Enjoy!!

Palm Tree Birthday Card

My sister and I love, and I mean LOVE the beach!!!  We live in landlocked states, but try to take vacations to beaches whenever possible.  I saw a super cute card while scrolling through pinterest one day and saved it.  Because I just knew it would make the perfect birthday card for her.  I do want to give credit to Jenny Engelke @ GiddyStamper for the idea!  My sister loved her card, and I loved creating it for her.
