Birthday card

This is always such a hectic time of year, and just to add to the craziness, my little brother has his birthday on Dec 22nd. He turns 40 this year....I'm not sure how that can be, since I'm only 35 LOL.... ;o)

We're very close, and I wanted to make him a special card this year to let him know how much he means to me. I used this adorable Mo Manning image called Bethy's Wagon (thanks Cheri for putting it together for me) and 'borrowed' the sentiment from a card I saw at the store one day...changing it a tiny bit to fit my card. Paper is Cambridge Chess by Bo Bunny and embellishments are Tim Holtz.

Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

Ok...this card was meant to be for the Simply Betty Challenge Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas, but I literally missed posting by minutes. DANG!
Anyways, the challenge was to use one of her Emos and the colour combo lime green, purple and turquoise in a card. I was so excited to be able to use my Bo Bunny Winter Joy paper for this which is those very colours! I used Rio and London Emos to decortate the tree.
Thanks for looking.
