Birthday twins

I decided while I was on a 

roll making birthday cards,

I may as well make the cards

for my birthday twins.  I will be

sending cards to 2 twins, but I

actually met another one, a doctor

I used to see.  How unusual is it

to find that many birthday twins all

in the same area? I always wanted

a twin.  This isn't exactly what

I had in mind, but it's going

to have to do!

I'm pretty happy with how this

turned out.  I am not good at flower

arrangement be it real flowers

or paper ones.  But I think

it turned out pretty well.

On the inside it says "Happy

Birthday to you" and two small

flowers to cover the tiny ink

smudges that somehow got 

on it.  The flowers are on vellum

which I then adhered to the pink card

inside.  To keep it all together

I added a ribbon through both pieces.

Ordinarily I would leave the

vellum not adhered (is that

proper English?) but I had glue

on the back of the flowers and it

would have shown through

too much.  There is no good

way to adhere something to vellum

without covering it somehow behind

the adhesive.  Brads work, I guess, 

or eyelets, but I don't use

 those too often.

Today is my grandson's grad/

going away party as he is moving

to Colorado.  I know

his sisters, brothers and

mom are going to miss him very 

much and I wish Jake all the

luck with his new life!
