Happy Birthday from the Cheerful Critters

At first I wasn't real keen on the Cheerful Critters stamp set, but now, I love it.  It's so cute and you can use it for adults, as well as children.  I made this card for my long-distance swap, and since I added the balloons, I really liked it even more.

I used the blendabilities for this card, and I'm so bummed they are discontinued due to some quality issues.  I was finally learning how to use them.  I do hope they improve them, or Stampin Up can find something as a replacement.  Stay tuned .. we can only hope for the best.

Cheers to you!!!
