Congratulations, Jennie (FS233). I am so behind on the challenges I normally participate in. I have had two granddaughters visiting from El Paso since July 8, and we have been really busy. They return home on August 16. They haven't been at my house the entire time, but enough that SCS has been put on the back burner.
I made this card for the FS233, but didn't have time to upload. Those of you who know me know that we have a Macaw in our office. I make a birthday card for him every year. I have been saving his feathers he loses in a vase and took a picture of it for the card. I think it looks like a bird is stuffed head first into the vase. LOL. Anyway, it is hard coming up with card every year that incorporates the actual bird in the card. It's not like he gets a new outfit or hairdo! A photo of him is pretty much the same from year to year.
Jennie, you have a lovely gallery and I apologize for being so late with this. I used your Sweet Friend Milkshake card.
TFL. I hope to be back in the near future.

I hadn't seen any of your cards lately and it seems you've been busy with your grandchildren. How fun for you!! Your card is just too fun and adorable.

How fabulous!! I love the creativity of this card and think the whole idea of a birthday celebration for your office bird is just delightful. I hope that he enjoyed his day!

Wow, that bird has beautiful blue feathers! You certainly captured the colors of his plumage well in your photograph. From the view of the card on line, the vase looks like 3-D plastic vase glued onto the card. Interesting concept for a card. I'll just bet that everyone in the office got a chuckle celebrating his birthday. Nice gesture-MG.
