CR84FN45 - Happy New Year and a Very Happy Birthday, Mom!

Welcome Back Everyone!  Hope you had a FABULOUS New Year and are Ready for some new CR84FN Color Challenges!  I KNOW I am!
These next two weeks we will be creating with these photos/colors taken by our very own Deb Frings from her trip to India!  They are so Bold & Bright!  If this graphic isn't enough to inspire you, check out my card and the other cards from our design team (listed in my sidebar) and show us what you've got!  You have two weeks to link your card to our CR84FN45 Challenge site!
My card this week is for my dear sweet Mom's Birthday!  She was the first baby born in her town on New Year's Day and they gave her Mom all kind of gifts!  How cool is that??! 
Here is my birthday card to her!


I used my new layerz die (LOVE it!) and some FAB papers from Prima, PTI, Authentique, and American Traditional Designs.  I LOVE to mix and match!  The light yellow lined paper has some faint words in a darker yellow so I added even more faint sentiments with my Island Indigo Ink.  It says "Grateful For You, Sending Hugs, and One of a Kind," which are all feelings I have for my Mom.  In the next photo you should also be able to see the embossed stripes on the center yellow panel.

Plus all of those roses - a Mom can never get enough roses!
In the next photo you can see my tiny tags!  I think at 79, my Mom should Eat Cake, and lots of it!

I will be in Florida to visit her and my Dad on January 7th, so for now I'll just have to dedicate this post to her!
Here is a photo of her on her wedding day:
And here is a photo of my Mom and Dad when I went to Florida to visit them last fall.
I LOVE You, Mom!  Happy Birthday!  May you have MANY more!

WHY does it not surprise me that YOU would have someone in your family that was a New Year's baby? Happy Birthday, mom!
GREAT card--she will love it. You should have told us in the club it was her birthday, we could have all sent cards. It is my mom's 86th tomorrow.
