For a BFF turning fifty.

My very best friend turned 50 last week and I wanted to make her a special card to commemorate the occasion.  I've always loved cards that include the recipient's age.  It really seems to personalize the card a lot more and I think it makes a great keepsake for this particular birthday girl.  I mean, it's not every day a girl turns the big 5-0 right?

I wanted this card to be bright and clean so I kept the colors to a minimum and I didn't add any patterns.  I stayed with the same colors and theme throughout the card.  I took the extra step of inlaying all of the lettering on the word bubbles because I really love the affect.  

I added a decorated flap on the inside of the card to make it more unique and to add some interest.

The last page I just wanted to tease her a little about all those candles she has to blow out this year.  I thought I'd take advantage of all that space above the word bubble to add a bunch of stamped and diecut balloons.  I really had a great time with this card.

Happy Birthday Dusti!!!  I love you girl!

For this card I used the following supplies from:

Delicious Birthday Stamps
Party Balloons Stamps and Die-Namics
TRANSFORMABLES Say Hello Die-Namics
Little Lowercase Letters Die-Namics
Little Numbers Die-Namics
  
Border Builders Die Set
