Hi All! I hope everyone enjoyed their day yesterday in some form or fashion! We had a very nice evening once Tony got home from his trip and he LOVES his new Ipod - I had loaded it up with all his favorite music so he is set to go! So, today is my MILs birthday and of course I needed to make her a card. Well, her favorite color is purple - yep, purple, which is DEFINITELY not a favorite of mine BUT since it IS her birthday, I decided that I could make the sacrifice and use some purple - LOL! She is also a HUGE fan of that sassy character Maxine so I figured our
Sassy Suzie stamp set is close enough to live up to her! I know she will get a kick out of it, this set is soooo her! I am very lucky - I am very close to my MIL and I consider her a friend...we go shopping, hang out, talk on the phone - it's nice! Especially since she only lives 15 minutes away - LOL! I also did the inside since I am giving it as a birthday card so here is a picture to show you.

I used the cake stamp from the
Birthday Whimsy stamp set and added some
dazzling diamonds to give it a little bit of bling! I think it is a fun card and she will like it - I know my husband thought it was funny! So, I will leave you with the recipe. Also, stay tuned because in the next few days, I will have some exciting news to share with you - I can't wait!! Until tomorrow, toodles!

ReplyDeleteI must admit that I'm not a huge purple fan either, but because my mother is, I've learned to like it a little more! It almost sounds like your MIL and my mother are the same person - a sassy purple lover! LOL! :-)

This is really cute! I'm sure she'll love it!
ReplyDeleteCute card. What a nice card for a purple lover. I'm right beside you with the colour purple. In fact, I was in my drawing class today and spotting something purple and I thought about how much I dislike that colour. No idea why. Funny. You still have me thinking about the one LO a week thing. I think I just might do it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful Alex! I'm sure she'll be so happy that you used all that purple! I love how you used the photo corners too...very original! {SMILES}
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I am sure that she will love it! :0)

ReplyDeleteI want to know your fantastic new now >"< Cute card...what a fun present to give your hubby. We love our ipods, I can't travel or workout without mine. One of the father's day gifts I gave my dh was an itunes gift card.
ReplyDeleteLooking at your card I just realized I hardly ever use purple in my cards...need to change that.
Perfect purple card for you MIL! SO cute and I love the inside too! Hugs, Deb
