Hello! Hello!

Hello friends! I am alive and well and hoping you are the same! It seems my love affair with blogging has waned and I'm finding it difficult to get back into the grove of frequent posting. I don't know if its a permanent state of mind or maybe a passing condition.  Nevertheless, I've been making cards and I am here today to share a birthday card I made using two stamp sets from Simon Say Stamp, Cuddly Critters and Cuddly Critters Accessories.

Sadness has once again filled my heart. On April 23, my beautiful Rozie crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. She was 3 months shy of being 13 years old. I am so fortunate to have shared my life with her, we had a long lovely friendship. She will always be in my heart and forever missed.

Happy Birthday!

Back today to share a birthday card for the best friend in the whole entire world! 

Happy, happy birthday dear friend and many more!

Happy Birthday from the Whole Herd

Goodness, time really does fly when you're having fun. I was surprised to see how long it has been since I last posted! So today is the day to get back to posting and share a birthday card that I made using the super fun Stacked Animals stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.  Love this set!

Hello and welcome! I created today's card so I could play along with Newton's Nook Inky Paws Color Challenge. I used stamps from Newton's Birthday Bash and Newton's Birthday Flutter. I didn't have background paper that suited me so I made my own using a ruler and copic markers!

Apple Blossom Birds

Jennifer McGuire posted a video on how to make this card. I love watching her videos and she always makes it seem so easy but I have history of fails. For a change, the results from watching this video, actually worked!
