Happy Birthday to ... Rachel!

My, oh, my, where has the time gone?  It's my oldest granddaughter's 16th birthday today, and I want to wish her a very happy birthday.  I remember when she was born, I was in the delivery room and she wrapped her little hand around my little finger and my heart.  She has grown into a beautiful young lady and is very special to me.

So, for her birthday, I wanted to create a very special card.

In retrospect, I probably should have colored the heart blue, but I kind of like it like it is...it really pops.  There is glitter and mini marbles around the heart. When you open the inside, there is a holder for a gift card or money, or an ATC or anything you would like to tuck in there.

So, Rachel, I hope all your wishes come true today and every day!  

Yikes! It's WET here!

Wow! Have we been getting some rain from Tropical Storm Fay! It started night before last, when the wind started picking up and the rain started. It gusted and stormed and rained all day yesterday, all night last night, and it's still storming today. Fay is less than 50 miles from us as I write this, and she's really showing herself. The kids were out of school yesterday, and I'm thinking they should have been out of school today, too. It's blowing more now and more steadily than it did yesterday. Not a day to be out on the roads.

I'm glad I didn't name this lady Fay. This is Rachel, and she bids you hello. This is another of the cards I made with the Making Memories paper. The "hello" are stickers that came with the paper pack. The ribbon matches more closely in real life.

I'll be back hopefully tomorrow to share another card made with the same paper.
