I started with the Breeze collection papers from My Mind's Eye, then pulled out the Birthday Bash set from Verve. I paper pieced the balloons and colored the stars with a white gel pen before coating with glue and dusting with glitter. To keep things masculine, I chose to tie a knot with grosgrain instead of a bow, added some mini brads to the sentiment flag and finished off with some Tim Holtz photo corners. Easy peasy and just perfect for my Dad's birthday.

Julee, this is so precious! Love the tonal striped background and balloons! The sparkly stars are awesome! Adorable card!
Congratulations on the upcoming family expansion...get ready for impact...and look out for a hilarious ride that will make you laugh and cry, worry and wonder WHY ???....but thru this journey you guys will never be the same and thru the pain...you'll say "I'd do it again"....God uses children to teach us how to grow....and show us that in life it's not about us....by the time they are grown...your heart will be full of love and beauty and gratitude for the innumerable blessings that children bring into our lives...I have read that to have a child is to take your heart and let it go walking around outside of your body...and I have found this to be true....Always Remember....YOU are Precious, YOU are Loved, and YOU are needed...now go light your world....
Blessings

This is adorable, Julee! LOVE all of the stripes! Can't wait to see those babies! I'm so very excited for you guys! :)
Fabulous, Julee! Love how you stamped and coloured on the kraft with a white gel pen! Thanks for the reminder about that!!! Great details!
Surprised?!! Haha...I'm so glad that I got to participate in this hop, to give you a bit of advice, and maybe just a bit of reassurance that everything will be alright! We are all scared in the beginning, we are all scared that we're not going to know what to do, and we are all scared about the unknown. But...once you see those sweet angel faces, all your concerns will melt away and you will be filled with a love you have never known. I remember looking down at my son in his bassinet and I started to cry...I couldn't believe he was mine!
You have a wonderful support system with Mark and I know that you two will make fabulous parents. We're all here for you, too!
And I did come here to admire your card as well...I adore it, you have such a gift with paper, no matter what the style, no matter what the medium, your creations are always a masterpiece!
Thanks for letting me ramble... :)
Ooooh! This reminds me I need to pull these stamps out and use them more! I love this card, it's a great masculine example. LOVE it!
Congratulations Julee!! I'm so happy for you....everything will be perfectly fine and you will make an awesome MOMMY!!
Wonderful masculine card!!!
Take care!
Those stripes are AMAZING!!! LOVE the paper pieced balloons and the stars are fabulous! LOVE it! :)
