Happy 99th Birthday!

 Welcome!  Today I am sharing a special card that I created for my Mother's 99th Birthday that is later this month.  I made a similar card for her a couple years ago and she loved it so I thought I would repeat my design by adding some more candles and also the Happy Birthday song.  I used Photoshop Elements to create the pages with text  and candles and then added dots and strips of glitter paper and used Diamond Stickles for glitter on each of the 99 Candles. That took a bit of time.  The front with 3 candles was attached to a Pink CS and then I attached 8 pages with 12 candles each printed on white CS.  The Happy Birthday song lyrics and music was printed across the bottom of the pages to which I added glitter dots.
The card fits these challenges:
Allsorts Challenge: Week # 502 Milestones with Numbers
Cards In Envy: It's all about the numbers challenge.  This card is less than 1/4", actually 1/8" so it does fit into an envelope.
Make My Monday Challenge: #87 Use Words or Sentiment.
Use Your Stuff: Challenge 342 As Time Goes By. 99 years is a lot of time gone by!
Crafty Catz: #444 Anything Goes with Optional Twist Birthdays

Happy 97 Years Young





Hello!  Today I have the longest/widest card that I have ever made.  I created this birthday card for my Mother who will be 97 years young on the 20th...... a candle for each year!  I was inspired by a card that I saw at Fab 'n' Funky challenges made by Ginny. See her card on her blog My5Bratz Creations here. 
I must admit I took a short cut and printed my card using Photoshop and Print Shop  instead of cutting the candles like Ginny.  I used Cheery Lynn Dies for the Happy Birthday and cut the number 97 with my Cameo. After assembling the card, I added some sparkle to each candle with Clearstar pen and Red Glitter Stickles.

Challenges:
Fab 'n' Funky Challenges:  #333 Birthday with a Number. Thanks for the inspiration, Ginny!
Shopping Our Stash Weekly Challenges: Stickle Me Elmo! Use Stickles or a similar product.  Used Clear Star Pen and Red Glitter Stickles on candle flames, all 97!
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Simon Says Winter Birthday. I may be "stretching" this card to fit a Winter Birthday challenge but the birthday is in the winter and all those candles warm things up.
Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes for Birthday
