Happy Birthday, Bev!


Happy Birthday to my good blogging (soon to be real-life) friend, Bev from Gotta Do the Happy Dance!

Hannelie contacted a bunch of us in advance to co-ordinate a birthday blog surprise for Bev, but you are all invited to join in the birthday fun!

Bev is a very talented cardmaker, but more than that, she is a sweet person who is always positive and who always has a kind word of support for so many of us in this blogging community.

For this card, I used a nestability to cut 5 stars and then I glued them together, just slightly offset, so that you can see them all.  And I'm so excited that in less than a month, I will be able to deliver this to Bev IN PERSON when I go to Wisconsin for my annual trip to visit my sister. I just can't wait to have some time to chatter away with Bev and for us to really get to know each other. I know from my visit last month with Virginia and Tracey that blogging friends (just like the cards we make) are even better in real life!

    Oh sweet Ardyth...this is such a beautiful card; I absolutely love it. Thanks for your wonderful birthday wishes, and I'm counting the days until I can see your smile in person!!!!! I have to tell you that this is one of the best birthdays I've ever had, much in part to all you "party girls" who have sent so many birthday wishes. It means so much to have a friend like you. Thank you for helping make this an awesome day. Bev

    That colorful star is such a neat idea. I'm so jealous that you get to meet your blogging friends IRL. I hope you reserve plenty of time for all the chatter and have a terrific time.

    SUCH a brilliant card, and right in the nick of time for me because my mojo has been AWOL for months and I have way too many birthdays to gift in October. I can do this star right tonight! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    I'm so jealous, wanna meet you and Bev in Wisconsin, or anywhere else, for that matter. I do hope you both have perfect weather and a fabulous time.
    Hugs,
    Bahb
