Card for a Friend

Hello fellow crafters...hope your 4th was safe & great! My last post was last thursday...I know that was 7 whole days ago...I was visited by 2 out of towners from my hubby's side of the family. So you know that your time is no longer your time while they were here visiting...they came in early friday morning...and they did not leave til late Sunday evening...so I had no time to sit and play in my craft room at all while they were here...the weekend was spent with a pre-4th cookout...that took up a lot of my time preparing food & entertaining other friends that came...we ended up with 9 folks to feed and entertain. Finally Monday came and I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to work on then I started creating Monday evening...then Tuesday came and I was put on hold again when I realized that one of my girlfriends birthday was coming in a few days....then I realized another one of my girlfriend's birthday is also rolling up in a few days also...so I stopped what I was working with to make sure I could get these cards completed and mailed out in time so here is another "Easel-Card" I created...I am also enclosing instructions on how to set card up easel style..hopefully they will figure it out...this card I am displaying today is done with stamping, Cricut Imagine, Tim Holtz flower maker, Fiskars scallop edge punch, stickles, and a beautiful crochet floral border ribbon that came with 9 other unique ribbons that I purchased at Costco a few months back....don't you just love Costco? The Imagine machine had the balloons on a cartridge called "BEST FRIENDS"...the Snail stamp was from the $1 bin at Michaels....I really love the sentiment "A True Friend remembers your birthday, not your age"...well I hope you get some inspirations from this card..until next time "KEEP YOUR MIND CREATING"......
