Happy Birthday, Carol!

No, not Happy Birthday to me.....to Carol!  Of Carol's Ink Spot!   She had a milestone birthday this week and is celebrating all week long by asking her blog readers to make happy, springy birthday cards.  Since I can always use birthday cards, I decided to play along.


I just had to make another ribbon flower with my homemade 'gluber'.   I saw the sketch for this card in the latest issue of CardMaker magazine by Tami Mayberry, and I just loved its simplicity.  I happened to have this dotted paper scrap sitting on my desk and decided to go for it!  Sorry, don't remember the manufacturer, but I do know the sentiment is from PTI.  Ribbon, cardstock and gems from my stash.

And, Carol, I do hope you had a wonderful birthday!  Thanks for having the challenge...I enjoyed playing along!

Thanks for peeking!
