Big Top Birthday
This card is going to my brother who will turn ?? on Monday. I won’t tell you his age as it reminds me that I’m not far behind him. Being a retired Air Force Chaplain, I think he will enjoy these stars and stripes.
The Big Top Birthday Designer Paper Series and Happiest Birthday Wishes both retire at the end of this month.

A Wise Owl for a Wise Young Man
My oldest grandson recently turned 9 years old. Seems like he was just born last week. We had the traditional family birthday dinner on Easter Sunday. There was a BIG Easter Egg Hunt in my daughter’s back yard and the kids dyed Easter Eggs too. As I didn’t want the Easter day activities to out shadow his birthday, I made this card that really fits him. He loves to read and he is extremely smart.
When I am making a punch art figure, I squeeze a few drops of Tombow on waxed paper and use a tooth pick to spread glue on the teeny tiny parts. That’s my tip for the day.
