Art Impressions Birthday Couple

Well, I hope you all are having a great start to the New Year.  We made it to Florida, but spent hours in traffic through Georgia & Florida.  So we were really glad when we got here.  My first card for 2014 is using the Art Impressions stamp "Birthday Couple".  At the Art Impression blog this week they have a challenge "Expect the Unexpected".   The challenge is to pull out those items you purchased, but have been sitting around and forgotten. So I dug out one of my first stamps I purchased from AI.  I have never inked this one up, so I thought it would be perfect for the challenge.  The sentiment is also from their Golden Oldies collection called "You First", which also was never used.  I love both this stamp & sentiment.  The paper I used is from Echo Park called "This & That".  

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Art Impressions Challenge #125 - Expect the Unexpected
Challenges 4 Everybody #37 - Anything Goes
Through the Craft Room Door - 12/31 - 1/6 - Anything Goes

Here is my card for this week...

Thanks for stopping by...
