Birthday Cards

I've wanted to post these for some time now and I've finally remembered. I have the best calling in my ward. I am the Relief Society Birthday Specialist. Basically I get to make the birthday cards for the ladies in the ward. I LOVE it!!! I have so much fun doing this! I don't always get the cards out on time but I do get them out. With the baby coming I wanted to make sure I didn't get behind in my cards so I made them ahead of time. I love my calling and I love making cards. I have sort of fell out of scrapbooking, ( the last thing I scrapbooked was Halloween 2008) and I am hoping to get back into it soon but I have just loved making all these birthday cards.This is January's card. Not one of my favorite but I didn't get these made till right before January so it was a quick one. But I like this idea of using a can top for a buckle.

Love, Love, LOVE this card! I was so excited when I saw it in the book and just knew I needed to make it for my February cards! I ended up getting this perfect purple color from my Stamping Up lady, Ashley. You can see her blog if you go to my side bar and click on
Design with Ink. I love it!

This is March's and I used that amazing purple color that I got! I love this color and will end up using it all up. I really wish it wasn't going out of season in July. I'm just going to have to stock up on it. I love the balloon and I use them a lot in my cards.


This is April's. I will glitter it later when it gets closer. Glitter gets everywhere but it makes the cards look so much better.

I would put May's up but they are not done. I need to go visit a friend to finish them. She has the tools I need to do that but they are one of my favorites with ladybugs on them.



This is June's card. I only made 2 of these with this color. I'll end up making the rest with that awesome purple color!

I don't think I could have a better calling. Maybe some one to hand them out for me because I am terrible at getting them out on time, but I really do enjoy this calling. I get to put names to faces of the ladies in the ward which is really good for me because I am awful at remembering names. I have also made some really cute Thank You cards for after the baby comes. Nate told me he was glad I didn't have this hobby when we first got married because I didn't send out
Thank you card for our wedding. Sorry, it just took my nearly 9 years to enjoy this kind of thing.
