There have been a couple of birthdays this week to celebrate... Mika is at a sleepover this evening, but we're picking her up at 10 pm. Why? Oh, because she has softball practice early in the morning - with her new travel softball team (she has to be there by 7:45 am - and it's 35 minutes away from our house). She was happy to be with her friends and I'm sure she'll be happy to sleep in her own bed. So, the card below was for her friend Abbie, who turned 11 and is one of her dear soccer teammates. It's based on a "Sketch ~N~ Scrap" sketch and used the stamp, Balloons to You.

And then... it's my mother's birthday this Sunday. Yeah, I know, it's going to get there late! She and her companion came to visit us earlier this week and we celebrated her birthday then. This card is based on sketch #327 from {Mojo} Monday and used the following Unity stamps: Candles and Cake {wit and wisdom} and Becoming that Person (I just love those adorable little hearts!). I've been following {Mojo} Monday for awhile, but this is the first time I'm actually playing along.

And speaking of stamps, you should run over to Unity Stamp Co to check out Angela's awesome birthday sale - all stamps are 50% off, even the "kit of the month" sets! Woohoo!
Great selection of cards.
