Happy Birthday with Big Bold Birthday

I can't let this post past without saying that I'm thinking about dear friends in Washington DC today.  Having spoken with them on Friday, they explained that the tension in the US and their great city is quite understandably at an all time high.  They lost a good friend who just happened to be at a meeting in the Pentagon.  My thoughts are with them, their friends and everyone else who suffered loss on that tragic day. 

Thinking of you.....................

 Now my card today is for a friend who celebrates her birthday tomorrow.  I know she will be too busy today to check in here so it's safe to share.  She likes cupcakes and so I've used the retiring set from Stampin' Up! Big Bold Birthday.  I've had this set since the beginning of my demonstratorship and it seems really odd to finally see it go into retirement.  Bye bye BIG BOLD BIRTHDAY.  The sentiment is from Curly Cute a popular greetings set and is coloured using the matching markers.

Now the colours are melon mambo, pumpkin pie, rose red seam binding ribbon and a touch of tangerine tango.  You might spot some other items that interest you, but you'll have to contact me to find out about them or be patient for a while.............!

Be safe this anniversary day!
