Birthday Cards for Daughters Born in January

Two of my daughters were born in January six years apart. This year their sisters and I were able to help them celebrate their birthdays together in Sedona at the beautiful Enchantment Spa and Resort . A side tour to the Grand Canyon was also taken during our wonderful long weekend in the middle of January.

The first card was made for my oldest child who celebrated her 50th birthday. The card is 5.25 X 6.25.
