So today I am sharing with you a card I made for my son's friend! His birthday party was this weekend! He LOVES the colors orange and black! So I thought that should be easy enough! Well I must say it was not for me! I just struggle with this card for so long! Your probably sitting there thinking ~ doesn't look hard at all! I think I just had a mental block! Maybe the orange and black was throwing me off! But I must say using Emma's new alphabet dies SERIOUSLY saved the day!! I LOVE these little guys!!! I did use my Circut ~ yes ~ I dusted it off and thought lets give it a try! I did use a capital "T" for this card! Since this little boy notices EVERYTHING ( he is very, very smart) and being that he is in first grade I better make this card using proper writing! Next time ~ I am not going to do that! Emma's dies are to much fun not to use! Anyway I did make it an easel card and threw on a few extras. There is also a hint on this card as to what is to come VERY VERY soon! My goal is this week to keep my post VERY short! Lets hope I keep my word!

Yes, you have been missed Kim, i was being to wonder where you were.. but i think we are all pretty busy with Thanksgiving, and if you had the little's one birthday this week end you have been busy. Your card is AWESOME and i am sure he loved it. Orange and black were a good color choice and i love the big T.. i always stress when i am making one of my boys a card, i always want it to be perfect for them, but i am sure they like what i put in the card more than the card. (i always put money in it) lol. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with many many wonderful memories and filled with lots of laughter. hugs
