Yet Another Birthday!



Today my baby is 19. Does that make me officially old? My mind sure feels old. I spent all day yesterday trying to come up with an idea and finally gave up. Today, now that she's out with a sister and good friend I finally came up with one, but I can't give it to her until tomorrow. I hope she'll think it was worth the wait.


I first saw a Tri-Shutter card about a year ago, printed out the directions so I could try them and promptly lost them in my collection of ideas. Today I remember it, and was surprised at how easy it was to make! Just some careful measuring, a few simple folds and cuts. I'd love to show you how, just let me know if you want a demonstration.


Ingredients: Paper: Whisper White Cardstock, Old Olive Textured cardstock and designer paper from Petal Party Simply Scrappin' Kit (retiring). Inks: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Pixie Pink (retiring) classic ink. Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly and Heard from The Heart. Accessories: Butterfly Punch, Mini Glue dots.


Here's a picture of the card open - this is what makes it special:
