Happy birthday, Amy!





My son's girlfriend turned 18 this weekend! He jokes that this is a very expensive month for him! They celebrated his birthday, her birthday, their one year anniversary and Valentines day all within a two week span! : )

We went out to dinner with her family and topped the evening off with ice cream from ColdStone's...yummmmm!!!

I made her a little card and these letters to take to college with her to hang on her dorm room wall! I think she liked them! :) I faux stitched around the edges and mod podged the paper in place and then sealed it with the mod podge. I also ran a gold marker around the edges of the letters to create a gold trimmed look! Too cool! : ) (Great big thanks to Jane for the gold marker gift! )

Happy birthday, Amy!

Recipe:

Stamps: Gina K. Designs Wishing Well

    What a nice b-day gift!! You did a fab job with the faux stitching!!! Anyone would be proud to have their name hanging on the wall done so beautifully!! Got me to thinking about my daughter - her b-day is coming up - maybe that's what I'll do - thanks for inspiring!!

    I loooooove those letters, they are fabulous, we simply don't get things like that in the UK, well not without paying through the roof for them, but then having said that I don't think I have seen them this big before
