Pete and Repeat. Ernykaren. Two peas in a pod. Yep, that's what they called us! It's a joy to share a birthday with someone you love and today I wish my twin sister and best friend the best of days! Hope your day is filled with fun, happiness and everything else you want it to be, Erin!
The inspiration for this card came from the fall photo at Pals Paper Arts. They also eloquently brought to mind the idea of layering, which I've tried to do with the embellishments.
Now for the giveaway! It is also a joy to spend my birthday with you as well and I'd like to share one of my favorite products! How about 3 yards each of Divine Twine in each of the colors below? It doesn't matter if you live in the states or over seas, I'm thankful today and every day that you visit! A comment on this post will enter you in the drawing and I'll pick a winner via random in one week. (It'd would mean a lot to me if you were a follower of my blog too, but it's not necessary to win.)
(Disclaimer: I am not compensated by any person or manufacturer for this giveaway, I just really like the product and want to share.)
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Kraft) PTI
Patterned Paper: (Monster Stew-Bunch of Monsters) Jillibean Soup
Stamps: (Fall Fest) Practicing Creativity Designs

Embellishments: (Sticker Sentiment) SRM Stickers, (Handmade Crinkle Ribbon) ButtonJunkie, (Mocha Bakers Twine) The Twinery, (Berries) (Thread)

Happy Birthday, Karen! While I'm not a twin, I always like to remember my "birthday twins" with cards on our birthday. I have met about 4 friends that share my birthday and it's fun to think of one another on our special day!
Happy Birthday Karen! I guess I didn't realize we shared the same Birthday! I have a sister who is 14 mths. older than me and people still think we are twins (someone just asked me last week)! I'm sure having names likes Somer & Winter didn't help either! ;) Have a very Blessed day! :)
Love the card. And love the photo of you and your twin. Too cute. I love my sister very much so it must be especially nice to have a twin sister. Hugs
Happy Birthday to you! (and your twin too!) I hope to have a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday to you Karen (and your twin)!! Hope you're having a great day! How sweet of you to be "giving" a gift for your birthday!! That twine looks so divine!! (okay, cheesey rhyme) :P
Happy birthday to you and your sister! Is she an awesome card maker too?
Enjoy your day!
Happy happy birthday to you and your twin:) HOW FUN!! Short story--my older brother (by 16 months) and I were in the same grade for 18 years--he went to preschool and I didn't. Anyway--everyone thought we were twins (which it felt like it). Anyway--it's been 10 years since we graduated high school, and a staff member at our school (which by the way was in a small town) asked my mom how the "twins" were doing. My mom was so confused!!! She was talking about us! How funny!
Anyway--you are super lucky to have such an awesome connection! I hope that you have a great day filled with love, friends, family, and cake!! Celebrate {psalm 118:24}. :)
Happy Birthday to you Karen. Hope your having a great day with the family! Thanks for the chance to win some lovely Divine Twine!
Happy Birthday to both of you - sisters are the best! And thanks for offering this great prize!!
Hey girl HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I mailed you a little present today and then forgot your card! AHHHH! I hope you have a great one!
Birthday cheer!!!!!
Happy birthday to both you and your twin! Hope you both have lots of cake and happiness. Remember, licking the frosting off the plate is not only acceptable but encouraged!! :D
A beautiful card!
...
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY ;-))))
Kisses from France!
