I'm really celebrating this 4th of July by joining in on the OWH blog tour with my SECOND post in this new blog of mine....a totally new experience for me.
Since we're celebrating America's birthday, the theme is, of course, a birthday card. I was thinking about that last week on June 25th....my half-birthday!Friends have often told me I should celebrate that day instead of December 25th as it seems to get lost with everyone else celebrating Christmas. Yet, my family and close friends always seem to specially remember me that day, so
I've not been "cheated" as one might think. But today, for starters, I'll show you the birthday card it inspired me to make that will be going into my next package of OWH cards soon.
This image is from Inkadinkado's clear stamp set "Beautiful Fairies" that I recently added to my beginner's collection as I couldn't resist it, and I think the "make a wish sentiment" suits my June 25th half-birthday! (Does anyone else out there celebrate a half-birthday? I know my granddaughters always did, and at my age, I should just be forgetting them!)
Moving on.... I did make a card for the previous Midweek Throwdown - gettin Digi with it! that was sponsored by Tracie at The Stamping Boutique, and am just getting around to uploading it now, since it's the patriotic theme
for a hero looking forward to returning home soon.

Very cute cards!!!
Beautiful cards. I have never celebrated half birthdays, but that is the most wonderful idea!!
Wonderful cards Dolores! I think it's totally fantastic that you've decided to blog and share your creativity with the OWH card makers. Have a great 4th of July!
Hi Delores, welcome to blog land!! I'm so glad you decided to start your own blog, I know Sandy is thrilled! I enjoyed reading about you when you were the featured card maker not too long ago on the OWH blog. Your cards are beautiful!
I like that the greeting is different, because so many say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It gets boring after awhile.
cute cards, have a great 4 th
Your cards are so beautiful! Happy 4th!
Great cards. I like the patriotic one, but the fairy stole the show!
Can't wait to see your other creations!
Delores, welcome to the blogging world. Your card is cute, and adorable. Happy 4th of July
Wow, great cards! I do really love that fairy. :) She is so cute!!!
Oh, these are great. TFS.
Love your fairy - she is so cute! And the design is really nice and clean. Well done! Nice patriotic card too! Tracey said she wasn't sure if anyone would ever use that image (everyone always picks others in the set) and I told her I'd get to it soon - you beat me to it! :)
Beautiful cards!
I am going to celebrate my half-birthday too ... no special reason other than I want to, but that's okay too. Thanx for sharing the idea and your cards.
Awesome card. I now have to buy this stamp. Love it.
Dolores,
I am so glad you started your blog or we would have missed your wonderful cards. Happy half birthday to you. At least you aren't 234 like our country.
Congratulations on starting a blog. You ROCK! Love the fairie card. Any little girl would love to receive that from her parent!
Happy 1/2 Birthday! I'm glad that you started to make cards due to your daughter's influence. BTW, your daughter is an incredible person, not that I need to tell YOU that! Anyhow, like both your cards. Happy 4th!

Beautiful cards,welcome to the blogging world....you will love it!! You do lovely work!! Happy 1/2 birthday!!! LOL!!!
Great cards!
I like the cute fairy. I also like the background you used on the digi stamp plane.
I am glad you are finding time to create. It keeps me sane! Happy half birthday!
Cute cards! I love the fairy. I also think it's totally fine to celebrate a half birthday. My boyfriend's birthday is my half birthday so he always takes me out for both instead of me having to take him out! It works perfectly. :o)
Love your fairy card. It's adorable.
Happy 4th!
Both cards are lovely! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Very cute cards! Have a happy 4th!
Wonderful cards!!!! Happy 4th
Happy new blog - you're off to a great start. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful cards and Happy 1/2 Birthday!
Delores, what absolutely beautiful cards. I agree celebrate the half birthday.
Delores, beautiful cards and images. TFS
Still love the cards. Right now my grandparents' dog is trying to endure the fireworks. They really freak her out.
cute cards! I'm particularly fond of the fairy card, as I'm slightly obsessed with fairies AND the color pink :)
welcome to the blogging world btw!
