Happy Birthday- AmCrafts Style

How do I love thee American Crafts? Let me count the ways. Your flair is delightful. Your Thickers make my heart go pitter-patter. Your paper is glorious! You make paper-crafters all over the world leap for joy! Am I laying it on too thick? I think not. :)

I needed to create a birthday card today and (as some of you know) I have been feeling über funky this past week. So I knew I wanted to create something really beautiful, but something that wasn't going to take me all of next week to make, right? So, what to do...what to do? Well, I didn't have to think THAT long. I just started grabbing for the wonderful, beautiful, LOVELY stuff that I have that is American Crafts! (No, this is not a paid endorsement. HAHHA!)

I just used their gorgeous paper, a little flair button, created a flower, stamped a sentiment and I have a really fabby birthday card that I know Eddy's sis will love.
