*Happy Birthday, Card Tutorial, & more...*

Hi everyone!
Sorry for the delay in posts, lots happening here at the Ashe house!
More later.
But first....the most important part of my today.
My handsome, sweet, loving, wonderful, talented, motivational, (the list goes on!)
husband turns a year older today!

<~~~~ here he is with his new baby.















And so I don't embarrass him by saying how "old" he is...(hee hee)
I'll just share a few of my favorite layouts, honoring him:

(what, I had to get us all in there somehow! ha!)

Love you TONS, hon....happy lotsa birthday's to you!

also, for today's post, I have a little card sketch

I made my card, then drew my sketch. It's just how I work.

Here's a couple of close ups:

To see the entire post & what supplies I used,

Hope it inspires you today!

My last bit of news for the day...
(& the reason for my lack of blog posting)

the kids are HOME for the summer!

Savannah's off right this minute taking her last final at UNT
& yesterday we spent the ENTIRE day moving Shaypher back from Texas State.
My birds are all in their nest! For the summer anyway....
She'll be moving back to her college town in August,

He'll be moving back to his college town in August...
and the empty nest begins again.
::sigh:: but then again...::fist pump!::
Have a lovely day friends!
I'm off to be with my birthday boy!

(p.s. I leave you with a glimpse at my little scrappin' buddy from the other night:)
