Another late one

My younger sister's birthday was this past Monday (Labor Day).  We like to joke in our family.  My Mom was literally in labor on Labor Day.  I wasn't going to say how old she just turned (since she is my YOUNGER sister but it is only a number, right?)So, my wonderful younger sister celebrated her 30th birthday on Monday.  I wish I could have been there to help her celebrate, she is in Wisconsin and I am in California.  We have been through a lot together and I am so proud to call her my sister.  I look up to her a lot.Happy Late Birthday Carrie, I love you!!!

 So to start off I know I wanted to use green since it is her favorite color.  I also used one of Geny Cassidy's layouts she used recently.  I just love her simple and fun layouts.  It makes it so easy for me to put something together quickly since I don't have a lot of extra time to create.The base is Simply Chartruese and then topped with kraft cardstock (I am not a fan of plain white and my vintage cream and rustic cream cardstock is out, gotta get more).I used Harvest Gold stamped with simply chartruese dots and a fiskars border punch to add some pizzazz  :)The ribbon is also harvest gold and I used a spring moss button to add a little more color to the embellishment.The main image was stamped with chartruese again and is a Waltzingmouse stamp (Label 4) and then the metal is actually a clip I bought at Michael's a long time ago.That is about it for today.  I hope you have an awesome weekend planned.  We aren't doing a whole lot here.  Tonight we are going out to dinner with a bunch of my husband's co-workers and their families.  I am excited, I love getting together with friends and making new friends.Thanks for stopping by!!!
