To my fabulous and wonderful husband, Happy 35th Birthday! Usually, I am not a wordy girl...post a card and keep moving. However, in this case I will make an exception.

I have known my fabulous guy since we were college sweethearts. And now here we are 15 years later. He truly is a special man both inside and out. I love you with all my heart, Patrick! I hope your birthday is everything you want and more.

Love Always,

K

I did complete my Scraps Challenge for the month of March, actually I completed two cards. The first card, the one with the rose, was a different card I had envisioned all together. However, my vision was for naught and I scrapped the original in the end. The flower scrap card is the remains of an idea.

The butterfly thank you card is also a scrap and one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy. Thank you for stopping by.
