"July Birthdays Day #2"

Hello friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
Another hot, hot day physically and another birthday card for the hot, hot July birthdays.
This one is for a church member who will be 83 years young this month.  She still lends her voice in the choir.  Her opinions counts in the Missionary Ministry.  Wisdom and knowledge is heard during discussion in the Sunday school class.  She spent six months last year in the local nursing home for heart problems until her daughter researched a better doctor for her condition (she later had surgery on her heart and was able to recover to 85% activity).  She will tell you that she came so close to not being on this side with us... but, GOD!!!!
I chose to use black and white to highlight the image that brings out color to this project.  I used a die frame from Our Daily Bread Design, "Layered Lacey Ovals" for a backdrop to the image.  With the addition of a few faux gems and the word "Wishes" for a sentiment, this card was done.

"A Hot, Hot Month For Birthdays"

Hello friends, visitors, followers and viewers.

I'm back!!!  I'm so happy to be sharing a card with you today.  It felt so good to make something for relaxation.  Have you ever had a vacation to relax and came back home tired from your vacation?  That is the way I felt on yesterday.  Just couldn't get it together.

Today's card is just one of many that I have completed for the birthday people in the month of JULY.

For family, my sister, nephew and my granddaughter will be celebrating birthdays this month as well as many, many church members and friends.  July is just a hot, hot month for birthdays.

Take a look and enjoy the first one:
