Happy Birthday Mary and Grace!

Mary's birthday is on May 30 and Grace's is on May 29, so we always have their parties together.  When I was expecting Mary, Grace had asked me if I could please have the baby on her birthday so she could have a "birthday buddy."  I told her no, that wasn't going to happen because the baby wasn't due until July.  Mary must have heard her sister's request because she came seven weeks early!  So birthday buddies it's been ever since. 

I made this card using the cute pops2eat, patterns4pops, and miniabc2stamp sets from Stephanie Bernard's Stamps of Life.  For the popcicles, I stamped off the pop background (inked the stamp, stamped on a scratch paper, then stamped the image so the ink was lighter) and then used the same ink full strength for the dots.

  1. I arrived here from the SEM blog hop! I liked the way you made the ink lighter on the popsicles by using scratch paper first.
