Did you know the definition of groovin’ is: 1. An enjoyable time or experience. 2. To take great pleasure; enjoy oneself in a relaxed way. 3. To interact well; feel a rapport.
Looks like I’m starting off the “Groovin’ with the Go-to Gals” posts – how fun!
And, since yesterday was my super fabulous, once in a lifetime 44th birthday (gasp!), I thought I would share a few of the special cards I received.
This first one is from a dear friend all the way from Finland. I love how she has made the best of her resources (they don’t have a whole ton of scrapbooking product over there) and cared enough to create a handmade card.
I love the creativity of this one. Check out the letters made from fabric and ribbon…I want to try out this technique.
Photo cards are some of my favorites, too. This is from my sassy cousin Deb. The inside reads, “I believe you should live every day as if it’s your last. That is why I don’t have any clean laundry – because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?!”
This one is from another friend. I love how she included a classic quote along with the real birthday candles. Fun!
This last one is from my Mother-in-Law. She always sends photo cards with cute (and sometimes embarrassing) photos of the recipient. My kids look forward to Grandma’s cards the most. My card features a lovely photo of Keith and I dressing up for someone else’s 40th birthday. Hee, hee!
Thanks for letting me share. Send a homemade birthday greeting to your friend or relative; it really is something special.

P.S. Since I’ve been on the receiving end of gifts lately, I thought I would return the favor. Leave a comment telling me your favorite kind of birthday card. Do you like sappy, sassy, funny, punny or the ever versatile photo card? I’ll pick one winner to receive my Monster Mix Jar from the September/October 2009 issue. All comments must be received by midnight (MST) on Thursday, Sept. 10.
One lucky winner will take home my Monster Mix Jar!
I love cards with humor.
I am all about the funny cards. Since your birthday is supposed to be a happy one, I’d rather be laughing than just plain ol’ smiling.
Funny or sassy!!! I look forward to my birthday card from my step-father every year. I swear he looks all year to find one for me with a put-down, fart or butt joke! And I send him one in return. It’s just the kind of relationship that we have!
In today’s serious world – I go with the card that gives some witty humor and love sending those type of everyday cards to my girlfriends – not just on birthdays!!!
I just love getting any kind of card – a handmade one tells me they put some thought into it and are giving me a little bit of them.
Happy B*day! I love all birthday cards! Especially handmade.
My favorite kind of birthday card is are funny ones. But handmade ones are the best!
I love humorous funny burfday cards!
I like the punny funny cards – especially the ones my sister comes up with. They are always right on. I also look forward to the handmade cards from my daughter-in-law and crafty friends. Actually, I just like birthday cards!
hAPPY bIRTHDAY! (Oops! I had the caps lock on… I was going to fix it, but it actually looks pretty cool…).
My favorite type of Birthday card is a handmade one — but I love cards with humor as well! And I LOVE the idea of the photo card for Birthdays too (not just for Holiday cards). Thanks!
I love handmade cards the best! Mix in alittle “funny” and it’s perfect!
my favorite cards have money in them! Send me a GC to my favorite LSS or to bath and body works and no other card is needed! But if I am to get a card, I like funny ones or some fabulous handmade ones from some fellow scrappers
Give me funny and punny everytime!!!
My favorite line on b’day cards is from Boynton cards a million years ago!
Happy birdies two ewe

Happy Birthday Kim!! When I make cards I tend towards simple and sappy. When I’m purchasing pre-made cards I tend to go for the humor. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your cards– super fun!
Hope your birthday was AWESOME!! I love to receive handmade cards- and/or funny ones (like the photocard about not having laundry done! Hehehe)
