Hi there! I’m back with another STAMPtember® collaboration featuring the beautiful, new Snowflake Cascade set by Gina K. Designs.
I embossed the elegant snowflake borders in white onto Fog cardstock. Then I created a panel with strips of solid colored cardstock for the sentiment, which I also embossed in white. I love this clean and simple look for the holidays.
Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes yesterday! I had a great day celebrating and eating way too much good food.
My oldest son, Boaz, surprised me with the most gorgeous roses. He was so proud of himself. He said, “Mom, that was my first time buying flowers. The flower guy was like, “Oh, do you have a special date today?” He’s becoming quite the Dapper Dan with these tight plaid pants though, don’t ya think? I love it! They are super stretchy pants. Just in case you were wondering:)
My daughter, Bailey, made the most delicious Triple Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake. It was a true labor of love, and I’m so happy there’s still some left over. You DEFINITELY need some stretchy pants to enjoy this cake:)
Make sure and check out the Simon Says Stamp blog to see more gorgeous inspiration using this new Gina K Designs STAMPtember® 2020 Exclusive Collaboration. Thanks so much for stopping by!

September 4, 2020 at 9:08 pmHappy Belated Birthday–your son is quite the cutie and how sweet he brought you flowers. The cake looks delicious too-hopefully you had one of those great German beers or wine too–I’ve been to Germany several times, can’t drink the beer because of a wheat /barley issue but the wine is mighty fine!

September 4, 2020 at 9:28 pmYou have done a lot of things right, by the looks of it. Your children still claim you (smile), you’re a gifted artist and you don’t look even a day older despite another trip around the sun! Happy belated birthday. I love the card and might have to rip it off when I make my holiday cards. Too bad Gina’s design apparently sold out right away. I will get it another time, but I will remember your beautiful card design! Take care and ENJOY the long weekend!!

September 5, 2020 at 1:06 amBelated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Laura! I’m so sorry I didn’t stop by yesterday…shame on me!
Such a gorgeous card! I love the embossed snowflake with your rainbow inspired sentiment strip…it’s just perfect in every way!
Love the pic of you with Boaz! It’s crazy when your kids are taller than you, right? And, he’s a full head taller, too 🙂 How sweet that his first-ever bouquet of flowers were for his mom…And, I love that Bailey made such a special cake for you…your kids are THE BEST…just like their mom and dad!!! I’m so glad you had a fun birthday…you certainly deserve it ~ Cheers to you! Barb xx

September 5, 2020 at 5:08 amYou are so funny, Laura. You always crack me up! Your comments about your son’s pants made me laugh out loud! He looks sweet, though. It was sweet of him to get you those beautiful flowers. 💜 Happy Birthday once more! Mine is the 15th. With lockdown still in place, we will probably spend it here. That’s okay because we are okay. Feliz Cumpleanos, Laura! 🌻💮🌼🌸
