Yesterday my wonderful husband's 39th birthday! I waited a day to share it because I don't want him to see this come up on Facebook before I have a chance to wish him a happy birthday and give him his card before the whole world sees it! And, as many of you know, we're five time zones behind those of you on the east coast! So, it's safer to wait.
We are celebrating in Hawaii! I keep joking that this trip is my gift to him. He keeps threatening to not come home if we visit too often. We came here first with Stampin' Up! on our honeymoon almost two years ago. This is our first non-Stampin' Up! REAL vacation - ever. Sure, we do weekends away. But, most of our vacations are because of Stampin' Up! - Hawaii, a Southern Carribean Cruise, an Alaska Cruise this May, and Disney World next year! I don't mind having hundreds of demonstrators on our vacations, but I think he does. Although, he doesn't complain! But it seems that we can't escape them! One of my downline members is actually staying at the resort here in Maui with us! It was completely coincidental. They have a timeshare in Maui and come this time every year. But, this year they came a few days early and are staying at our resort!
So, back to today's card. I can't stop using this punch! You NEED this punch! As I was punching out the cherries, I realized, it's like getting 5 punches in one for $16.95! You could easily buy a cherry punch, a candle punch, tiny circle punches, a cupcake wrapper, and an icing punch! I am also in love with this stamp set - Bring on the Cake. And, I know many of you love this stamp set, too! I've already sold quite a few of them!
