Dreaming Up Birthday Wishes

April is one of my favorite months. Spring is most assuredly in the air (ask my sinuses). Warm weather is arriving. The days are longer, and you can feel the positivity and good humor rising in those around you. The winter blahs are real, and April is the dragon that slays them.

April is also fantastic because of some birthdays that occur during it. That means I need to get on the ball and start making some cards! I got the big gift done already. So we'll count that as 1 point for me.

In the shower this morning, I was thinking about potential card designs. I L-O-V-E doing cupcakes on cards, but I do them a lot. Presents too. These April cards need to be special and different because April is special and different and so are the wonderful people who celebrate their life anniversaries during it.

"What about balloons?" I thought. And because the shower is my place of clarity, I instantly remembered I did balloons last year. I painted them on the cards. They were only alright. So option 1 is to revisit balloons and make them much, much cuter. But that wouldn't be very different.

So I'm scanning the Internet for inspiration. I have no idea what doodle will end up feeling like the winner. Stay tuned for the results...
