Stampin Royalty #161 - Happy Birthday

Hi! I hope everyone is doing good - big game today!! I'm not a big sports fan - I'm one of those people who have trouble sitting still for a few hours - I have a hard time trying to relax and always find myself thinking of all the other things I should be doing. I think that is why I like crafting. It keeps my mind busy.

I did manage to make it through a few episodes of Downton Abby last night - watching on demand.  I've heard so many good things about it I figured it was about time I gave it a try.  Now I feel like I need to get caught up with the back story to know the characters better.  I loved the elegant setting that reminded me so much of Biltmore in the states.  I remember touring the mansion and thinking "how could anybody live like this?".  Downton Abby explained it all - silly me what was I thinking? 

I am entering this card at Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger as well as Stampin Royalty Challenge this week - both have the theme of  Birthdays!  The Moxie Fabulous Cath  is celebrating her mom's birthday!  I used a gold acrylic paint dabber to add some extra glimmer on the leaves, as well as a pearl ring and some pretty pink leaf pins - all the extras I know my mom would love.

Thank you for stopping by for a peek - I hope you have a beautiful day!

Jeanne
