TGF birthday card

Happy Hump Day everyone! Countdown to the weekend has started! I enjoy my job but I do still love my days off. I whipped this card up this morning for a wonderful friend of mine, Renee. She loves the color orange so that was my jump off point and I love TGF so there ya go. I tried a new hair combination which is similar in color to Renee's, it is the E50's and I think I am liking it although could use just a bit more contrast. I haven't decided what saying to put on it yet but something like "Birthdays are nice but new carpet rocks!" The story behind that is Renee got new carpet a few weeks ago and was so excited she said the carpet installers were looking at her like she was crazy. She said something like I am old and don't get out much. Ha Ha!

The paper is Mabel by My Minds Eye, buttons are PTI and the flower is felt cut with a PTI flower die. I am loving all of the new metal dies out there, they cut so beautifully. Oh, and do you see the flower frog I used? I am trying to improve my photo taking skills and thought this might lift the card a bit. Under $4 at Michaels if you want one. My husband gets so mad when I tell people how much I paid for something but if it is a good deal ya gotta share, right?! Ok, off to work on another card, don't forget the kraftin kimmie new releases start tomorrow!
