Happy Birthday You Old Buzzard

Hello Ai fans!!

 

Yesterday a good friend of mine turned 40.  We tourned the wineries in the Finger Lakes and then went to her country club for dinner.  There were 16 of us in all and it was so much fun!!  We didn't do gag gifts but I just had to include this "old buzzard" with my real gift.  She got quite a kick out it and was thrilled when she found her favorited Swedish Fish inside the jar.

 

 

I spray painted the jar and lid and once it dried I wrapped it in designer paper.

Next I added the buzzard and a tombstone from Sizzix.  Last, I added the black lace and fuzzy ribbon.  I thought the ribbon looked "feathery".

 

I posted her card a while back but here's a reminder of what I made.

Hello Ai Fans!!

Today I'm sharing a stamp that makes me think of my friend.

We do so love our red wine and chocolate.

 

 

My friend Carrie is turning 40 next month and we're renting a limo bus and touring the wineries with a bunch of friends to celebrate.  I'm setting this card aside to give to her on the trip.  It's just so us. (although I don't see a gaggle of kids in the background trying to get us to help them with something or other!)

 

The image is called Gigi and Monique (Sku#U2837).

The verse is called Wonderful to be young (Sku#G1446)

 

 

 

I used a couple more verses on the inside of the card...

 

Mamma Mia! (Sku#F2831)

and

GF Happy Birthday (Sku#E3578)

 

 

 

Don't forget there are still a few more days to enter the Pin it to win it contest!!

 

 

Wine gets better ...

Hi Everyone
Just received some new stamps and some of those are words. Seems I am always lacking in verses/words. When I ordered the verse I used on this card, I figured it would go great with this stamp.
