Hello friends,
Thank you for all the Birthday wishes for my son and me!!  You guys are the best and since today is my 40th Birthday what better way than to celebrate with you and a GIVEAWAY to thank you!!  

How to WIN the Vintage emboss folder and Itty Bitty Shape Punch Pack  all you have to do is leave ONE comment about your most Memorable Birthday, open to everyone.  My MOST memorable birthday was my 32nd birthday when my son was born on December 19, 2004 at 11:21am it was the BEST early present.

On to my card for today,  I thought I would make another Birthday card using the All Dressed Up Stamp set and the Dress Up Framelits Dies or get the bundle item#131095 for $34.95 from Stampin' Up! available in the Spring Catalog on January 4th.

I stamped the image and then die cut the bottom skirt with 

the die Dressed Up Framelits and the "NEW" Print Poetry Designer Paper. I added my Favorite tiny flower from the Itty Bitty Shape Punch pack which I'm giving away today!!

I inked the edges of the Labels Collection Die with Daffodil Delight.  I think the card looks a lot better in person for some reason I just couldn't get a good picture.  This is a fairly simple card  and I can't wait to use this stamp set and die some more.

I love all the sentiments on this stamp set and this is just 

one of the sentiments from the All Dressed Up stamp set for 

only for $16.95 item#129174 available Jan. 4th
