Happy Birthday, Greg!



Browsing through Pinterest the other day, I saw THIS card by Donna Okoniewski, which really cracked me up. I was looking for some inspiration for my twin son Greg's birthday card, and this was it. I took the design right from the card I CASE'd, but changed it up by using a very different color scheme, a stenciled background for the card base, and stamped, heat embossed with sparkly black EP and die cut the spider webs. I also stamped the spiders, and added some stenciled clouds. Greg is a PhD student working with lots of technology, economics and data analytics. He has a wicked sense of humor. The simplicity and humor of this card made him laugh a lot, which was the desired effect! Also, I think it is pretty cool that you can see a face when you look at this card - 2 eyes and a mouth in the spiders, eyebrows in the webs above the two top spiders... Love ya, Greg.

Happy Birthday Greg


Second twin birthday post for today, Greg is a technology hound, as are the majority of teenagers. He's been the technology go-to guy for everyone around him since third grade. I decided to go with an iPhone design for his card. Truly, Greg and Jon's birth day was indeed the best day ever.  Tomorrow is driving test day, and I have been a bit teary today thinking about the way driving will impact MY life in that the boys will be wonderfully independent, but they will not be in my car singing and talking and sharing their day with me in the same way.  New chapter... here we go. Love these guys. Happy birthday from your proud Mama.
