I made this card for Eula's 110th birthday and got it in the mail on Saturday. I chose the horse image because one of my favorite memories of my birthday was when my Dad would take me to the local riding stable so I could get my free trail ride. I had a favorite horse named Flame. The really cool part of all this is that my Dad would take me out of school so I could do this. I loved being able to go riding when the rest of my classmates were still in school.
The layout of my card is one that Gina K did in her latest StampTV video and I reallyI liked it, although my focal image is horizontal rather than vertical.
I personalized the greeting to say 'Happy Birthday Eula' on translucent vellum. Inside is a panel of the same soft rose color, with a birthday wish on white cardstock.

Love the layout to your beautiful card. I have a summer birthday, so I was always out of school. I wished I was in school to have a school party. I know, weird!! Great memory to have.
