Happy Birthday Tracey....hope your day is as fun and special as you are!
A cake to celebrate your day!
A few gifts too....
Today is Tracey's birthday...I am sure that you all know and love Tracey, she is one of the sweetest and craftiest ladies around. If you don't know Tracey, I believe you must be living under a rock or something very similar. You can see all of Tracey's amazing creations on her blog here, In My Creative Opinion, be sure to grab a nice tall cup of tea, you will be there for some time. In celebration of Tracey's special day, Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea has set up Mr. Linkz so you can add your card to Joyce's blog to play along. I can't wait to see all the fabulous cards for Tracey's friends, sure to be a place with so much love and inspiration.
For my card, I thought I would CASe one of Tracey's cards, or at least it started off that way. What better way to honor her, right? My card is made for this week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday, I have not played for some time and thought this would be a fun one to use for Tracey....
