Happy Birthday, Grandma Gerry

Hello again friends.  It's Sunday and that used to mean a new card for Stampin' Sisters in Christ.  But as you may know our beloved Kris has decided she needs a break to spend more time with her family.  I certainly understand how much her family means to her and know she has made the right decision.  I'm not sure what I will post on Sundays, but I'm sure the Lord will show me.  

For today I have a card I made for my very dear mother-in-law.  Her birthday is tomorrow (she will be 79) and we are celebrating with her today.
 I used an image from Gallery Cat on etsy.  I couldn't find this collage set in the shop right now but she has so many gorgeous sheets I know you could find something fabulous to work with!  I used the sketch at Deconstructed Sketches, rotated.  The background is a great paper with a newspaper type feel.  The strips are vellum which I embossed so you could still see the DP underneath.  
 It's a bit hard to see, but I used a new die by Becca Feeken for the corner piece.  I punched it from vellum.  The vellum and birthday stamp are oldies from my stash.  The green ribbon I ran through the edges of the die is also from my stash.
I used the same DP on the inside.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Catch the Bug - Anything Goes
Fun with Shapes & More - Must use a die/punch - Anything but Christmas
Inspire Me Fridays - Anything
Pause Dream Enjoy - Use Your Forgotten Stash
Crafty Ribbon Challenge - Use at Least 2 Ribbons
Delightful Challenges - Add Flowers

I think that's about it.  Thanks for taking a peek!

Blessings & Hugs,

Michelle
