Addicted to Stamps and More #120

 

One last card for today and maybe for 3 weeks as I will be having a blast with my Bff, Colleen in sunny Hawaii for a week and then I will join my son, his son and wife and his dad for another week to celebrate my son's 40th birthday (What????)   So excited....

Found this beautiful foil, shiny paper at Impress and when I saw the photo, just knew I had to use it.

I think the ornament is called Jasper from Memory Box,  It's hard to see but the back of the ornament is gold.

Happy One Liners and Wonderful Words Birthday

  I tried making one with greens and blues but it didn't turn out so went for the normal rainbow colors.   I'm not that happy with my card.  It's just Ok

CAS(E) this Sketch #99

 

This is a card for my oldest son who will be 40 on November 25th.  For his birthday, he wanted to have me, his dad and youngest son to spend the week with him and his wife in Kona, HI.  It didn't take me a second to say yes.  I don't know how it happened that he is this old????

I have been to Hawaii only once and that was in 1980 so I think I am due.  I didn't want to go all that way and only spend 7 days there with two of those days traveling, so I asked my BFF, Colleen if she would like to go with me the week before and she was able to convince her husband that he would be fine without her for a week.  So on my blog the countdown is 7 days.  I will take the train to Portland on the 14th and we will fly out the next day to beautiful Hawaii.  We are beside ourselves with excitement.  It will be sooooo fun....
