Stampin' Up! I {Heart} Hearts & My Birthday!

Well, I KNEW it was my birthday when my order from Stampin' Up! arrived BEFORE NOON! That never happens! I told the UPS man that he did that just for me!

So when I got my boxes (yes 3!) inside, each of them had a warning!

How fun is that!

Inside I had lots of new goodies, including the new I {Heart} Hearts stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  Now through the end of February, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 for each one purchased to the Red Cross' Haiti Relief Fund. 

Well, two of my friends were taking me out for dinner for my birthday and I wanted to make them a little gift.  Here's what I did.

I removed the inserts from these photo snow globes and replaced them with embellished cardstock with my new set and the God's Blessings Set.

Here's the front.

And the back...

The water magnifies the images... it's really cool!

And my friends loved them....

They took me out for dinner and a Spanish Coffee... I'd never had one before... coffee w/ orange liquer, kahluah and brandy.. then topped with whipped cream.  It's quite a presentation!

Here's the waitress fixing them up, and me tossing cinnamon into the flames...

They were very good, and one (or a half of one) is all I needed :)

Thanks Barb and Monica for a wonderful 40th Birthday!
