Happy Birthday (Southwestern Style)

Hi everyone!  Tomorrow is my father-in-law’s birthday and so I thought I’d share the card I sent him. He has already received it so I won’t be spoiling anything.  (And even if he hadn’t yet received it, my in-laws still have dial-up so I’m fairly certain they aren’t checking out my blog every day.  I wouldn’t. lol.)

Happy Birthday!

I’ve colored Fred Bear (from Fred Bear Out West by My Favorite Things) the same way I colored him the last time.  As a matter of fact, I knew I’d be using the same papers, so I simply colored a second image right after the first and saved it.

I used MFT’s Star Border Dienamics, then used two jump rings to “hang” the birthday sentiment from the openings in the stars.  The sentiment and cupcake are from Fred Bear Has a Birthday.  (And the cupcake is popped up on a foam booster.)

On the inside, I stamped the second sentiment and bear from Fred’s birthday set.

Thanks for stopping by!  I have lots of ‘stuff’ coming up in the next week, so I’ll be back soon!
