I tell you, this weather we've been experiencing has been plaguing us since mid-December. That's when we were suppose to get together to celebrate one of my older brother's birthday. In a way, it's been to my advantage since I didn't make him anything prior to the original celebration date :) I was inspired to make a birthday wallet via her majesty Julie Ebersole {JulieHRR}. Her version uses my well hoarded madeira paper {obviously I'm still keeping it well hoarded..lol!}. I decided to use my favorite speckletone kraft. The a-dorable epoxy "Make a Wish" sticker is by Creative Imaginations..opening the package almost made me pass out, the aroma was overwhelming. I originally bought the package of stickers to make cards for my sweet 'lil 1 year old nephew...I'm glad I didn't..they were stinky-guy-pan {an Amy'ism}...they are definitely okay to use for a 44 year old's birthday card though...heck we grew up consuming large quantities of MSG and raw eggs...what is a little toxic epoxy aroma? *LOL*I matched up the RABOM ribbon to the itunes gift card...I also bought him a Home Depot card {you can see that orange peeking out}...that's why I designed the wallet like I did...I didn't want the blazing orange yelling out to him :) It's really for the honey-do list's...I decided to keep the embellishing to clean & simple..it is a wallet for a dude, and I doubt he'd want his all "dolled up"!
