MDS Birthday card

ok so when SU! offered FREE s/h 2 weekends ago i didn't realize that included MDS printing as well!! woot woot! Thanks Alisha Linn for being so on top of things and writing that on your blog!! So, since she was so brilliant and printing a stash of cards (i had yet, to try cards out on MDS) i also, got right down to it!! We had till midnight on Monday night and @ about 11:35pm i finally was able to submit my order. stamps, paper, scrap pages, cards, you name it... and all for FREE Thanks SU!!!!!

wait, before i take any credit for designing these cards i didn't. they are pre.designed. so all i had to do was tweek them and figure out how to print!! I love. they came to my door step and i scurried down stairs to my stamp room to make them just a little more dazzling! i added one little flower/rhinestone to one of the flags and all of a sudden my card became 3D!! ;) talk about fast and now i have a little stash!
