Happy Wednesday! Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday, and to all who sent me cards! I'll be sharing them throughout the week! My niece also has a special birthday coming up, and she and her hubby just bought a couple of goats to add to their little farmette! Can you guess what set I used to make her card?
Yep, Way to Goat! This is a slimline card, inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week by Linda:
Linda's sample says 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" will fit into a business-sized envelope, but I made mine 3 x 7 1/2", as my goats seemed to fit on it better! I have to give a shout out to my friend Karen, as she very kindly stamped, scanned and cut all these little guys for me since I don't own this set! I colored them a wee bit with a Smoky Slate Blend, then added a few party hats from Bonanza Buddies, and mounted them on some Birthday Bonanza DSP:
I added some more DSP on the inside and a few more diecut sentiments:
Hopefully, at 30 years old, she'll know I am just kidding when I called her an "old goat"!!! And funny story....we have a diary from my grandmother, I think the date is 1911, and she mentioned in one entry that "the old goat" was coming to visit....we're not sure, but we think it might have been our grandfather, her future husband! So I guess old goats just run in the family! Thanks for popping in today!
A little artwork for my birthday!
She even autographed it for me, LOL! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
