My grandmother asked me last week to make her some more birthday cards to send out to all her friends so this is what I've gotten done so far.
Life Is a Delicate Balance
As you can see, the original stamp shows her holding tea.
I kinda thought with the sentiment I was using, the martini and wine glass would be funnier.
Card Description:
4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base
Nestabilities Standard Circles Large: one for cutting and embossing the image and one larger for just embossing the front of the card to use as a frame for the image.

She is going to love these! And yes, the wine and martini are a much better addition to the card! Also love the 'gotta pee' girl (maybe because I'm reaching that age...) Hope your son's birthday theme was a success!
