Celebrating Birthdays with the Dueling Darlings!

It's March 15th and time for another duel with the Dueling Darling Divas and Dazzlers.  This month hostesses Donna for team Dazzlers and me for team Divas chose the theme "Birthdays".  I had a special reason for choosing this theme as some very special people in my life are celebrating milestone birthdays this month.   My Uncle Dick just celebrated his 90th birthday on Monday and my husband Pat will be celebrating his 80th birthday on March 26th.  Not only are these significant birthdays being celebrated this month but also the team leader for the Divas, our own Kelly Santi, will be celebrating a birthday on March 28th.  Here are some of the cards I've made from the kit I compiled for the Divas:
 This card for my Uncle Dick was so much fun to make.  I used Splitcoaststamper Sketch SC687 for the design. And die cut the 90 and the circle.
 The design on this card is from the Splitcoaststamper sketch SC688.  The image was stamped with a Stampendous stamp "Drift Gift", die cut and colored with Copic Markers.  A little sparkle added with sequins and stickles.
 The inside of the card has a Inkadinkado stamped greeting.

 I love this stamp from Art Impressions' "Wine Divas".  I sure have a lot of friends who enjoy their wine and would appreciate this card! The "Wine Divas" were colored with Copic Markers and enhanced with a little Stickles glitter and an adhesive gift package.   Stamped sentiments were also from the "Wine Divas" stamp set.

The inside of the card has two stamped sentiments.  One from "Wine Divas" and the other from Art Impressions.

All cards feature designer papers from We R Memory Keepers "Cake and Candles" collection.

I hope you enjoyed checking out my card creations.  I have to now get busy making more cards for more March birthdays for my brother-in-law, 2 nephews and several friends.  Also planning and preparing for a BIG birthday celebration for my Darling Husband's 80th birthday a week from Saturday....So much to do!!!
