A Happy Birthday on the First Day of Fall!

Happy Fall to you all!
Today my daughter turns a "quarter-of-a-century"...or so she's been calling it for months now! She says it's old and I pointed out it's only a quarter of the way there! I'm still in the second quarter and I don't consider that old! lol
I finally finished her card yesterday and since it was supposed to be mailed a week ago...it's late! I may now be a card-maker but I am not yet a decent card-mailer or get it to you on time-er! ;o)
My daughter has just started her eighth...and final...year of university! After this year she will have her Master's Degree in Speech Language Pathology. She also works part time in a jewelry store, and leads a VERY active social life. She exhausts me! lol  
When Paulette from Create With TLC offered this fabulous sentiment recently it inspired the whole card! Since my daughter works in a jewelry store, she wears and sells lots of pretty bling. I had to include as much as I could on her card. The sweet image is a freebie from Milk Coffee Digi Stamps.
Oh, did you notice it's an easel card? I think it's my very first one! Enjoy your weekend, my friends! We've got beautiful weather happening here and we're going to have a family BBQ birthday party! It's just too bad the Birthday Girl can't make it! lol :o)
