My Mom's birthday is on Christmas Day. I know, you're probably gasping at the thought ... BUT Mom has never really minded it much. When she was a kid, there was no money so the "getting jipped in the gift area" was not an issue, and many people remember her birthday because it's on Christmas Day! It's unique, that's for sure!
This is the card I mailed to my Mom for her birthday. I always try to give her a traditional birthday card ... not a Christmas card. It is a CASE of THIS CARD by Cici510 on SCS. The flower center is an over-sized self-adhesive rhinestone I found in the wedding section of my local Michael's store.

This is lovely and classy! :) I like it a lot !:)
Beautiful card! My son's birthday is Jan. 8; and I try to do the same thing about not mixing it with Christmas, although it's a little easier two weeks after. TFS
beautiful, as always. i have a first cousin whose 40th was on Christmas day this year! we used to have a separate birthday cake for her after our present openings at my g-parents' house.
Very cute Nancy!
Many Blessings,

I love your card Nancy. I have pick a petal stamp set but have yet to use it...I feel over whelmed when I see it. Perhaps I need to attend a workshop using it or just take the time play and face my fear!
Beautiful card - my mom's b'day is on the 23rd! So I always try to do a card that says anything BUT Christmas! Love the Pick a Petal!
Great card...love those colors together! What a special day to celebrate a birthday!! Hope you're enjoying your well deserved vacation from blogging. You ARE missed...can't wait to see what you'll be making next. Happy New Year = ) !
Stunning card. I have a cousin with a Christmas day birthday. I always make her a traditional birthday card and she always gets excited when her gifts are not wrapped in holiday paper! Funny thing is I always remember her birthday and sometimes am late with her sisters card - she's born in July!
Happy New Year!

Nancy,
As always your card is GORGEOUS. I have really missed your creations lately and will be glad when you "fall off the wagon again" with your addiction. Hope you are having a wonderful vacation.

This is a gorgeous card!
Your mom and I share a birthday! :)She's very fortunate that most people remember she has a birthday... I always find that people get so caught up in everything that they forget all about me... LOL, not a pity party, just the truth. :) Anyway, hope her day was great!!!
