On the inside it says "Baa, Happy Birthday you Ewe" I like the cheesey puns :)

I have been very busy haven't been making cards as often as i'd like to. I get intimidated by what I see out there on the other blogs I like to read, there are incredibly talented people out there that produce card masterpieces! I think that contributed to making me feel that every time I made a card it had to be intricate and WOW! but I don't have time in my day to focus on that right now and I miss making cards. So, i'm going to be making more simple but still cute cards to send out for friends' birthdays, anniversaries and just because.

When I send a card it is because I'm thinking about that person and want to bring a smile to their face. Here is my challenge to you my crafty but busy Mom friends, pick a stamp image you love and sit down and make a card with it today. Check your mailboxes, I may be sending something your way :)

A Wedding card I made for some friends that got married back in January. This is another stamp image that comes from The Greeting Farm. I used White cardstock from Stampin' Up! some glitter patterned paper from I think dejavu.
