2 More Birthday Cards

 I have two more birthday cards made up for my December Co-Workers.

This one, when asking what she would like to see on her birthday card, she answered with the following:

1. Favorite Color(s) or color combo(s)?  Blue mainly, but also pink and purple
2. Hobbies?  I enjoy reading and watching TV/movies
3. Funny/Punny or Serious?  More on the serious side
4. Pets?  Kids?  1 granddog, 2 adult kids & 3 grandkids
5. Do you collect things, if so, what?  I collect coffee mugs from various vacation spots
6. Sports team? Soccer, also BSU football
7. Food?  Chocolate, coffee (hot/iced)

Since coffee was mentioned more than once, and I do know she loves her coffee I went with that.  I also went with the travel theme (she collects them on her travels) and I went with blue.    The mugs were cut using my Cricut using various travel type papers.  I added a touch of lace, a single flower, some sequins and some pearls.

The second card I made (her birthday actually falls on Christmas day), she answered with the following:

• I like my Purple and NE Patriots colors. 

• 7^th Grandchild is due around my birthday (Pray it will be early & healthy) 

• I’ve been trying to do more crafts with my Cricut. 

• Elvis is my current passion.  Graceland was awesome, Peabody ducks at the Peabody Hotel was so much fun (Check YouTube). 

• I LOVE to travel out of state to explore new places. 

• Tonight I am starting my first assignment as a volunteer at the Morrison Center.

Oh, as a side note, as for the Morrison Center; This is where Broadway in Boise, the Philharmonic, some traveling comedians, etc... perform.  Her first night volunteering was for Broadway In Boise for the production of Jesus Christ Super Star.

To give a little background, I've worked with this lady for over 17 years now.  Her husband is a DJ for one of our local country music stations.  She has been a patriots fan for ever (she is from New England) but Brady has been her not so secret crush forever too.  However, I think I've made her a patriots/Brady card every year for the last several years.  I did let her know I really wanted to do something different for her this year.  Luckily, for me, she gave me some fun ideas to work with.  I went with the Elvis and purple theme.  I kept the card fairly simple, but it still looks sort of busy.  I added flowers, gold gems, ribbon, twine and music notes.

Thanks for looking!
