It's the big five-o for one of my bestest friends, Laura Weed! We've been friends for over six years now, ever since I moved away from the Orange County, CA area, and up to the High Desert of CA. Laura was hired to take over my position as the in-house designer, we worked together still at
Stampendous, and we've been buds ever since. Over the years we've both celebrated a few birthdays, including my own big five-o three years ago. Of course, she's been
rubbing that in my face ever since, that I am older than her. However, since she has been taking on more and more responsibilities at
Stampendous (including fearless leader of the design teams), I kind of think that that should have evened things out by now. Lol. Therefore my card that I am posting is a gentle dig at her, featuring the
Cling Cupcake image, the
Perfectly Clear Simply Safari, and the
Perfectly Clear Counting Birthdays set. I went with purple and black as purple is her fave color, and I like the contrast of the
Black Embossing Powder against it. For a little additional drama, I added fifty (count them!) candles, and lit them up on the ends with a little Tigerlily and Sunflower glitter. The inside of the card celebrates not only her birthday, but the fact that she has lost over eighty pounds this year! Woo hoo! As I'm not the only one who loves this wild woman, the
Stampendous Design Team girls, have all planned a surprise for her by posting lots of birthday wishes just for her on all our blogs. Check them out:
