  1. Happy Birthday in red

    April 28, 2010 by andrea

    The special feature of this card is the node. It is not really a node. The ribbon is folded only once – it looks very noble.

    A Baby Changes Things

    A baby changes things;
    They’ll never be the same;
    Your life is filled with wonder,
    Since your little miracle came.

    There’s lots of things to do now,

    But with the new tasks you face,
    Your family gains more love,
    And bonds time will never erase.
