For the next two weeks, we will be celebrating Dear Sweet Andrea M.'s Birthday! YEAH! You all should know Andrea from the FABULOUS comments she leaves every week! Wish I could be there to take you to lunch, Andrea, but you'll have to settle for my card and a little somethin' somethin'!!! 
Without further ado, Happy Birthday, Andrea, Here's My Card For YOU!
I wanted to do something with an animal since Andrea is a vet, and this birdcage and bird from Tim Holtz (had to have it, never used it!) is all I had in my stash! Not sure if she treats birdies but it's the thought that counts! Notice the birdie is outside the cage ~ Be FREE!
Here is the close up of my banner of sorts. It started with the fan I made (inspired by the graphic) and my twine was really long so I added a heart. Then I just kept adding more and more hearts and flowers with sentiments until I thought it looked done! One of those works in progress!
Here is a close up of the Juliette doily by SEI, the grosgrain ribbon by SU, some button thread, and the brad by Making Memories. And to think this card all started with that piece of text paper from My Mind's Eye and evolved from there!
Happy Birthday, Andrea! HUGE HUGS to YOU!
Go to Andrea's blog and give her some Birthday Love!
Also check out what the other Design Team members from CR84FN have created for inspiration with this beautiful color graphic put together with photos from Steven Steinhardt! LOVE these colors!

This is so pretty. I love all the little charms on the twine and all the details. A feast for the eyes. Glad to hear you used your cage die - I'm always telling myself be a creator not a collector:)
