Busy September!

In September lots of friends and family members celebrate their birthdays. So, I had to make a couple of cards. One of my favorite motif is the "Marianne Design Collectables Cutting Dies - Family Owl" I used together with a couple of balloons from the "Lil' Inker Designs - Birthday Balloon Greetings Stamps and Die Cuts". I can think of numerous designs with these 2 sets.
