Happy Birthday Big Brother!!!!

Hello Friends,
Today is my oldest brother Tony's  50th Birthday!  Wow!  The big 50!!!!!

  Happy Birthday Tony!!!  

You are truly the best big brother a girl could ask for!!!!  An all-around GREAT GUY!!!  And this card is for you!  :

I am also entering it into the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog SSCB#23:  Use up those scraps! 
Now if I just use this technique about twenty or thirty more times I may put a dent in all the scraps I have on hand!  It is a fun technique and I love the colorful cards it creates!!!  By the way I did not have any birthday sentiments from Serendipity to use on my card so I improvised by using the "Happy Holidays" sentiment from the "Old Time Christmas" stamp set item: 934QCL.  I masked off the word "Holidays" and just used the "Happy" to create my card.  I definitely need to order some sentiment stamps from Serendipity during this weeks sale!  Shipping is free for all orders over $10.00 until 11-12-13! 


Thanks for taking a look at my card!  And I also want to send a thank you to the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Team for choosing my card from last week as the favorite card for challenge #22. You made my week!!!!
:) Jill

  7. Happy Birthday to your brother Jill! I am so happy he is there for you and Tim. You made a wonderful masculine card . Great job with the scraps and I am so glad you had some time to play again with us at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. You are a sweetheart! Nice idea to mask the stamp tooo. you get a lot more mileage out of a stamp that way.
