Christmas Cow

A couple of years ago I did a Christmas card class, and we made a card using the This Little Piggy stamp set. You can see the post from 2017 here. Some of the people that attended the class are still talking about how cute the card was, so when we did our Christmas class this year, I decided to treat them to a cute Chrismas Cow.

Believe

A number of years ago I adoped the word BELIEVE as my word. It was a time of new beginnings for me, and it struck me that all I had to do was believe. Believe I could make a new start, believe that I could be successful. Believe that I . . . whatever I needed at any moment, it was there to support me at any given time. I have a number of items around my home to remind me of this. Plaques, mugs, framed art I have made, an engraved polished stone, whatever I have found and collected over the years. The stamp set Itty Bitty Christmas has a stamp that simply says ‘believe’ and I used it on my card today.

A Colour Challenge

I love participating in different card making challenges, I find they push me to try things I wouldn’t think of. Today is another example of that with a colour challenge. So Saffron, Rococco Rose and Mint Macaron. I love all three of these colours, but probably would not put them together in a card if someone didn’t tell me to!

Happy Birthday Cow

Ever since my daughter was very little, she has loved pigs and cows. I’m not sure why, or where it started, but she still loves them today as an adult. You can imagine how happy I was to see the stamp set This Little Piggy. The cute pigs are so much fun. When the new annual catalogue came out in June my happy level went up another notch, with the Over The Moon stamp set. Now there is a cow stamp set for me to make more fun cards for my daughter.

Wishing You Your Happiest Birthday Yet

How many times have you wished someone their happiest birthday ever? I know I have said it, and written in on birthday cards. I don’t really want this year to be their happiest birthday ever, just the happiest birthday they have had yet. I hope that their next birthday will be even better than this one, but that is for another year. My card today will certainly let someone know I want them to have the happiest birthday thay have had yet. It’s their day, and I want to share in celebrating that.
