Happy Birthday toooooo Yooooouuu!

Good Afternoon All!

That was me singing to you in my title! Better to have me sing to here...like this... than in real life - LOL! Holy smokies... it is OCTOBER!!! This is such a pretty time of year I think, as long as the weather is nice and it doesn't get too cold - LOL! I am a pretty big baby when it comes to cold... I don't like it! The only GOOD thing about cold weather is when it snows, as long as it is the really soft kind, with no wind, and it is super sparkly...and I don't have to go outside in it! But hopefully there will be no snow in our forecast for quite awhile!

The OTHER thing about October that is fun is that my daughter's birthday is the 24th! She has been reminding me since LAST year on October 25th that it was almost her birthday...LOL! She will be 20!! Which I also can't believe! Where does the time go?

Olivia's super cute card today reminded me of all the family birthdays we have this month! It seems our whole family is born in either October... or April! Makes it easy for having birthday parties because you just have one big one! The tough part is finding a cake big enough to write about 8 names on it - LOL!

This is such a cute birthday card for a little boy! Olivia used the adorable Birthday Ian from The Greeting Farm. We have just got our first small order in of the Anya and Ian stamps and will be adding a few each time we order :) Ian was colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Ink Markers and those awesome ticket sentiments are from the Whimsy Stamps Raindrop Echo Sentiments Collection called Celebration Mini Tickets.

I love the colors that Olivia chose. Her cards are always so bright and cheerful! I love the background papers because they really let the image be the star and they give it a fall feel which is a perfect for October birthdays! AND .... Olivia is bound and determined to make me have to go buy a cricut! She has been rockin' the shaped cards using her's and now I want one too...LOL!

Be sure to swing by Olivia's Blog - ORM Crafty Nights and let her know how cute this card is :)
