Another Year Older

Hi everyone! I feel like I am not being very productive lately. How can it possibly take me the longest time EVER for what should be the simplest card EVER? My card took almost 3 1/2 hours to make tonight :S

Sorry if you are getting tired of another Swiss Dot and cupcake card, but this isn't it - I have more to come later LOL... I can't help myself the folder and stamps are some of my favs!!

Tonight's Challenges: 1. Unscripted Sketches has this fabby sketch to follow:

2. Simon Says Challenge wants "Punches"

and

2. Creative Card Crew also wants "Punch It". Now Creative Card Crew has a challenge "fortnightly". I honestly do not know what that means. I thought it was bi-weekly but now I am second guessing myself. Any help???

I didn't want to fussy this up too much, as it is for my male boss:

{For the record, I do not speak Polish, but my boss does. It says "Happy Birthday"}

Card Ingredients: Bazzill and Recollections cardstock; Fiskars diamond punch; Inkadinkado stamp; Craftsmart Black and Teal inks; Copic and Crayola markers; Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder; random button, twine, and threads.

Happy Thursday!! Can you believe it is Friday tomorrow again!!??! Oh how I love weekends!!
