I needed two birthday cards for two beautiful men who both have birthdays on May 14. One is for this week's MMTPT-79th birthday for Nick, Mary Jo's husband; the other is a secret! I know the sketch has a square focal point but I used the Simon Hurley stamping foam and didn't want to cut them down. I've had the foam for a while, finally started to play and can't stop. Such fun, so quick. One simply heats up the foam and presses it into or onto something textured, like my twigs. I think both beautiful men like blue so there you go. The sketch is a very very handy sketch, I will keep going with it. Thanks for those challenges! Happy birthday, gorgeous guys!!!!!!

A two-fer! I love a good two-fer and, frankly, these are great two-fers. I want to say these are beautiful, but knowing they are for two great men, I guess I should say they are quite handsome. I love the shades of blue you achieved on each of them. They are both fabulous, but with that quote by John Glenn it gets my vote for "just slightly better". I have that foam and have only used it once. I don't know why I haven't used it more. But now you have me itching to try it again. Fantastic Two-Fer!

Ah, I think I've done something similar with regular fun foam. Great use of the sketch with the clips. They ALWAYS look right for other people, never for me. Love the fun birthday sentiment.
