Happy Birthday Darnell.....


Happy Birthday Darnell...wishing you a wonderful day!

Today is Darnell's birthday and if you don't know who Darnell is...well you must live under a rock or on another planet. You can find the link to her blog here....be sure to grab a gallon or two of your favorite beverage and take a peek. She has to be one of the funniest blog writers I know and she makes fabulous cards too.  


Ardyth from Maskerade was sweet enough to organzie this little soree for Darnell and you can see all of Darnell's birthday wishes on her blog. 


I am also entering this card in the current challenge at Retro Sketches #121 and House of Cards - Add a Bow

    Love the card, Kim - bright, clean and pretty! The hearing aid tip is too funny - years ago I was surprised that my dad wasn't bother by the noise of his very young & loud grandchildren until I found out he used to turn off his hearing aids when they were around :)

    Hi Kim! I hope you had a great 4th and are enjoying the weekend! I know I've already sent you a personal email thanking you for this bright and happy birthday card when it came in my Happy Mail, but I wanted to stop in here and comment, too. And pin your card to my new HB 2014 Pinterest Board!

    Besides having bright colors that make me happy IRL, I just love this layout, so now I have it in my hot little hands to CASE someday! That's a second gift!! And I love the Maxine cartoon tip, too! What's that you say? Hmmm, definitely merit in being hard of hearing!!

    Thank you again for the card and your wonderful compliments! I love you, too! Mwah! Darnell

    What a happy card. Love the little note about hearing aids. Made me laugh considering I am constantly cleaning my Dad's aids even though he says he can hear just fine without them...until I ask him a question! Great job.
