Happy Birthday, Beverly! So I mailed this card earlier today, and I was debating on whether or not to post it until you received it in the mail, but I guess you see what won out! For the layout of the card, I used the Sketch This #94. It felt great to do a sketch challenge last night...instead of grading papers! hee!
Glad to hear you had a good day! A flat screen in your scraproom?! I am seriously jealous!! I have the 19" from Lori's brother's first marriage! lol! You deserve it, though, so glad your family knows it!
Now, here's a little story on getting old for you...a lunchtime conversation with one of my 2nd grade students:
Student: Miss Tieman, why are you so old?
Me: I just am. I've been alive a long time.
Student: (sighs)
Me: It's not so bad, it's better than the alternative.
Student: What do you mean?
Me: I'm still alive.
Student: Yeah, but...it's just that you have a white hair right here. (Proceeds to point to the top of my head.) Can I pull it?
Me: No.
Student: Please?
Me: No. (She's still thinking about it.) If you pull that hair, you're going to get a color change. (Student runs back to her chair.)
I'm laughing big-time, of course, and so is she. Good times, good times.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Birthday again, Beverly! Hugs and happy stamping!

Hahaha, that is hilarious! This card is rockin my world and I have a 52" flat screen in my craft room. My hubby and I share the space... tee hee!
Hahaha! That is too funny! I love your card--the button over the date is so cute!
HB from me too....;-) Your card is beautiful Angie, great idea... ;-)
That story is too funny. At least she didn't get her color changed.
Your card is gorgeous. I love the colors, layout and ribbon treatment.
Love your birthday card Angie and that story is hilarious...
LOL... that was hilarious! :) Love the card, too... The colors are fab!
Angie,
You are too funny! Fortunately for you I got busy yesterday evening and didn't check your blog until this evening, after I opened today's mail! So the card was a surprise, both when I opened the mail and when I read your blog! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes!
Beverly
Great Birthday card! :)
I've heard of teachers pulling their hair out, but never of students offering to do it for them!!! ;D
Oh, the things kids will say!

I love your use of the calendar on this birthday card!
Those kids keep you grounded don't they? hehehe.
Ooh - really love this one, Angie. Not a color combination you see everyday - but it really works! Love the layout - and the idea of using a calendar on the BD card. I'm taking notes...
