UGG--I missed your birthday!

The latenightstamper's challenge for this week is shaped cards.  So I decided to make a card that represents the biggest craze around me.  UGG Boots!  Around my area EVERYONE (and believe me I mean EVERYONE) wears winter boots called UGGS.  My son says there is only about three girls in his whole school who don't own them, and most own a few pairs (crazy at the price of them).  So now that you know the background for my card here is my sample--an UGG--I missed your birthday card!


This was such a fun and quick card.  Here is the inside saying...


Isn't that fun!  This is the style I would get if I ever got them--I would rather spend that kind of money on stamps though! Call me crazy but that is a LOT of stamps!


Thanks for stopping by today.  I have more Apothecary Art samples to share with you tomorrow!
