You have a Birthday and you have a birthday ... and you have a birthday

It's that time of year where we have a group of birthdays close together - 2 great nephews, 1 niece and myself.

At least it gave me the opportunity to do some cardmaking - something that I realise I have missed, once I started pulling the cards together.

For the great nephew turning 6, I knew I wanted to use the new stamps I recently got from Blue Edge Crafts

Linking above card with Seize the Birthday - using scraps  This card was made using off-cuts of cardstock - the pirate & sentiment were stamped on an off-cut too :)

then, for the great nephew turning 4, I used these cute stamps from Stampology, Mindy's Zoo

For the niece, I used these lovely stamps from Stampin' Up, and did a bit of paper piecing :)


With Covid-19 restrictions still in place, we decided to have just a small gathering at our place :)

My own birthday celebrations were fairly quiet - just the two of us, we had our favourite Chinese food for tea (we got take away)

We are thankful here in SA, we have so few cases - they are in Quarantine - but we still need to be  mindful of the various restrictions.


Thank you for visiting my blog today - I hope you have a good day.
Remember, any day doing something you love makes it a good day ;-)

Doing what you like is freedom. Liking what you do is happiness.
