A special birthday card

I have a special birthday card today for my oldest daughter, Dina.  I can't believe it was 39 years ago she began our family!  She was the easy daughter to raise, a good student, a kind and compassionate person, she was also the one who got stage 4 lymphoma  in 2011.  She is totally in remission now after going through chemo.  We are blessed that our prayers were answered.  She has three children...I talk about the two girls, 14 and 12 because they both play volleyball and my husband assists with coaching.

Her son is 8 and LOVES basketball!

Dina and I were able to spend this last Presidents Day weekend together in Salt Lake City because her older daughter, Ellie had a volleyball tournament there.  

We shopped, we drove to Park City, we worshiped in the Cathedral and we shared every meal...so many wonderful memories and talks we had together!  We cherish this time just the two of us!

I used four different stamps for this card.

Layered Banter Banners

Bitty Bouquets

Movers & Shakers

Wonderful Words:  Birthday

a few PPP sequins and some from PTI too!

Thanks for taking a look! 

Today my younger daughter, Dina, her MIL and I are going out to lunch to celebrate!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!

Heart Hugs!

Colour Q # 292

Because there is an extension in this Colour Q challenge I was able to post this card.

The technique for this card was from Julie Ebersol over at The Classroom.
she showed how to do a special and partial die cutting.
I love this and it was really easy, go check it out on the blog.

I used a nestabilities circle die and the dies from PTI Bitty Bouquets.
The sentiment was embossed with Ranger pink embossing powder which is so pretty and so easy to
emboss, it is yummy!  And I love the color, it really looks more like Berry Sorbet  which is the color I used for the strawberry slush.
The background was sponged on with distress inks with the same yellow, orange and aqua colors.
Thanks for taking a look!
