Oh my, I cannot believe we're into the last few days of October. The month has flown by at a pace almost too fast for me to keep up. My commitments and schedule always explode this time of year. From conversations with friends, I suspect it's the same for most of us.
I finally managed to carve out a little time during the past week for some card making and crafting; mostly in prep for my church's annual Holiday Bazaar. In addition to a crazy schedule it's also the time of year when my craft room is in a perpetual state of craftiness and mess. I'll be sharing the results of my efforts later. For now I'm just popping in to share my go to birthday card for 2017.
This is a super fast and easy card. I've probably made at least 2 dozen using lots of different stamps but my favorite set is the Inkadinkado Patterned Pets set. I pretty much leave the animals black and white with just a little bit of shading using a Copic W2, hand draw a party hat and just provide a bit of color in the background.
The sentiment is computer generated and reads "4 out of 5 people get money in their birthday cards" and the inside "Happy Birthday #5." Cute, right! Perfect for friends and co-workers. Plus it works for guys or gals...always a bonus in my book. Of course now that the year is getting close to wrapping up and I've sent this card to practically everyone I need to come up with a go to card for 2018. Wish me luck.
