Seize the Birthday ~ HEARTS!

Hi friends!  So glad you stopped by to look at another card for the Seize the Birthday Challenge
the prompt is given to us by our leader Nancy!
There is a VERY special friend whose birthday is actually the day before Valentines so I thought this would be a perfect birthday card for her...it is getting posted a bit early, but maybe she will be surprised to see this in her mail box (oh who am I kidding, she knows who she is...!! and won't be a bit surprised!)

I had fun pulling out Sunny Studios Bold Balloons and inking them up to make a birthday balloon bouquet just for her!  I fussy cut each one too, now isn't that showing some love!
Our "Topping" option this time is...
 


 
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!
 
"SEE YOU IN THE GALLEY!" 
Before you go, be sure to visit the DT and our Special Party Guest Carol HERE

Heart Hugs, friends!

Your heart balloon bouquet is so pretty, love it. You did a great job fussy cutting them. Love the hearts in the background also.

Fussy cutting that many hearts - this definitely needs to go to a special person! It makes a beautiful balloon bouquet, and the diagonal panel and even more hearts on the card base are a perfect design.

Fussy cutting is definitely a sign of love, and I'm sure hoping this ends up in my mailbox Colleen, but I'll try to be humble and hope that some other special friend will enjoy it too if it's not for me!! I love reds and pinks together and this card definitely says CELEBRATE!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Love those puffy heart balloons!! Your fussy cutting is totally on another level - with that many balloons - that would take effort and lots of love too! Awesome card, Colleen!
