Happy birthday, Justice Ginsburg!!

Something totally fun today... I am joining a Hop to celebrate one of the outstanding women of our time … Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg!  I cannot wait to see her story on the big screen - or in my case on my big screen, because I missed it at the theater!

I've used Hero Arts' Dare to Dream set because it says it all perfectly, and just the way I'd like to say it!  So much so that I stamped the entire set right out of the package by anchoring it in my MISTI!


It was fun to make her robe, and to tuck another of those wonderful hands in!  'Birthday candles' made from Penny Black: Lovely Birthday

Thanks, Joan Bardee for planning this wonderful Hop, and for inviting me along!  Here is a complete list of the crafty party goers ... there are 4 prizes hidden along the way, so be sure to visit each member... Joan will announce the winner on March 21st at her blog...enjoy!!

What a unique and fun idea. I honestly never would have thought do to this, but it's a great way to honor a very strong woman. Yay that you got to use the hand again. :) Love all the encouraging messages you stamped in the background. Thanks for sharing, Michele!

FABULOUS card my friend!! You are definitely getting your use out of that hand die and I'm loving all the wonderful details on this card too! (including the great background!!) We missed seeing the movie at the theater too, but have it ordered at the library, so hopefully will see it soon! Have a great weekend Michele!! :0)

You sure are handy with that hand, lol and I love every iteration. I too missed it on the big screen but its definitely on my rental list.

Linda Callahan said...

Fabulous......just like RBG! And the documentary is wonderful......she is an amazing and oh so intelligent lady!

MaryAnn Samuelson said...

#crushedit You even got the tiny detail of her polish down on her fingernails. RBG was the epitome of old school class, but she came to play with the Big Boys and they never knew what hit them!!

Savannagh Kacey said...

I love how you incorporated all the sentiments and how each one directly applies to RBG's life.
