I forgot to post the birthday card I made for my friend, Lara, yesterday, so here it is today. It arrived on time and I think she liked it.

It was a really quick, but fun project. The drawing probably looks familiar because it's just a photo-shopped image from my sketchbook and that I printed on card stock. I used my alphabet stamps for the interior text and the envelope was one that we had on hand. I love how envelope liners make everything look a little classier, so I made this simple one by drawing a swiss dot pattern on computer paper with a silver sharpie, cut it to fit, and glued it in with a glue stick and voila - birthday card!

I haven't designed anything like this since making our wedding invitations and save-the-dates, but I find the process so satisfying. I guess it just means that I'll have to start remembering all of our family and friends birthdays much better than I used to.
