Oh, no! I'm late in remembering a family birthday...

In early September I looked at my calendar and realized I had totally missed my brother-in-law Leigh's birthday which was August 29th. I felt SO BAD!! So I quickly made him a card to let him know I was still thinking of him.


My card had to be a simple one, because I NEEDED to get it into the mail immediately. I chose to print some text and have it be the focal point on the front of my card.

I stamped the row of dots (it's an old border stamp - no idea anymore who the manufacturer is) and added a double fishtail banner for embellishment. The pattern on the banner is actually the other side of the deep turquoise mat on my card front (paper from Stampin' Up).


On the inside of my card, I printed a simple sentiment and stamped another row of those dots. This card was made and mailed on the same day.

I just hate when I miss someone's birthday. It doesn't happen too often, but I'm always embarrassed when it does. I never mean to forget people.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

I love the font you used on this card, Cheryl. So nice of you to make it and send it, even though it was late. I'm sure it was appreciated very much.
