I have been taking a break from card making over the last few weeks. Between family health issues I had help with and making a ton of Christmas cards, I needed a break. I wanted a clear head and a fresh start going in to a new year of making cards and I decided a humorous get well card was a good way to start! Hoping this card featuring Get Well Set from Art Impressions helps someone not only feel better but brings a smile.

Tractor Christmas
Late this past Saturday night my husband had a special request for a Christmas card for his boss. His boss loves John Deere tractors and they use them daily for work, he has a collection of antique JD tractors and he also restores them. Of course my creative brain went into overdrive. A masculine card, with a tractor and Christmas themed....uh boy - I have my work cut out for me! Gulp!
Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has two tractors in their stamp line up - now I just had to wait for him to choose which one he wanted me to use. Oh and did I mention he wants to give it to him at his Christmas party next Saturday? Hubby chose the antique style tractor and this is the card I came up with. Here's hoping the boss likes it!

Happy Birthday Bluebird
On Sunday the weather was cold, rainy and grey so I headed to my craft room for some colouring. I wanted to colour something that made me smile and brightened my day. I went through some images I had stamped and keep in a future colouring folder and found "Bluebird" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. A perfect stamp to colour on a dreary day and make a card to add to my birthday card stash.

Birthday Iris
The weather is grey and rainy where I live today so I decided to have a play in my craft room with something that makes me happy to brighten up my day. I love flowers - don't do well growing them but I do love them. Roses are my favourite but I also have grown very fond of Iris so I planted some this summer.
I also need birthday cards for my stash so when I saw this Iris stamp in my stash I decided it was perfect for a birthday card and to brighten my day.

Christmas Believe
I not sure which I need more of .... snowman or penguin Christmas cards. I have friends and family who love them so I end up colouring a lot of each every year. Thankfully, High Hopes Rubber Stamps has lots of snowman stamps. "Believe Snowman" is one of my favourites and I make at least one card (it's usually more <smile>) with this stamp every year.

Prairie Bouquet Birthday
Last weekend I spent some time practicing colouring flowers. I had found a few stamps at a Thrift store so I took a break from Christmas cards to colour a few up. This weekend my goal is to get some cards made with my practice colourings. First up is this birthday card featuring Pure Prairie Bouquet from Power Poppy Stamps.

Penguin Christmas
It's looking a lot like Christmas in my craft room! Growing up we always had an artificial tree but I had a lot of friends and family who made it a tradition to go out as a family and get a real tree. This stamp called Penguins Carry The Tree from Whimsy Stamps reminds me of the fun stories my friends told of their adventures to find the perfect tree.
