Birthday Card for My Oldest Daughter

Hello everyone.  If anyone missed me, you have my sincere thanks!  It seems life has gotten in the way, and I have not had any motivation to take the time to post on my blog.  I have definitely still been crafting though.

This is a card I made several months ago for my daughter's birthday.  The picture is awful!  I could not get the colors right with my camera, and then when I tried to fix the colors using software, it just kept getting worse.  It was a pretty card though!  LOL.

Ring around the Middle

I woke up early this morning and decided I really needed to make this card.  I had the tree already cut, so in order to save time, I wanted to make a card around the tree!  The recipient's last name is Warden, and he is a supervisor, so I thought I would use the play on his name and insinuate that he is a warden.  Thus, "The Warden's another year older!"  LOL.  They say you can tell the age of a tree because of the number of its rings.  The inside of this card says, "Good thing you're not a tree, or you'd have another ring around your middle!"  Cheesy for sure, but it works.  This card took 30 minutes or so to make, which is pretty good for me!
