Happy Birthday Joyce!!!

Today is the birthday of a very special friend of mine, Joyce. She is a constant ray of sunshine and simply makes my day whenever she stops by my blog.  

I wanted to create something a little extra special for her.

I made a sort of tri-fold card. The front of the card is supposed to look like the inside of a house with wallpaper. You look through the window outside to see the butterfly and cattails.


Once you open the card, you can see the butterfly and cattails better and....



...it reveals the Birthday message....


Opened all the way, you see another message and some more cattails, a flower and butterfly.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOYCE!!!! 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of love and time spent with family and friends!! XOXO


Here are the rest of the ladies who also joined in the Birthday Blog Hop. Stop by their blogs, 
you won't want to miss what they created!!

  8. Now you pulled out all the stops for this one Susan! I LOVE it. How much work this must have been, I bet I would have messed up tons of cardstock trying to get it to turn out as perfectly as you did. Great window card...you know how much I love window cards! I love those pretty cattails and the butterflies. Beautiful job on this one, Joyce will love it.

  11. Wow--this is amazing. I have never attempted a tri-fold--too many ways I could mess up! Yours is absolutely lovely. I love the window, the scene, and those cattails. They remind me of the cattails that used to grow around the pond in the neighborhood where I grew up. Thanks for making such a lovely card, and for helping me celebrate my birthday. I am so happy that we are both Paper Dolls, and I look forward to getting to know you better as time goes by.
