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.

It's a Goal!

Well, it's been a while since I posted here ....... 

It was the nephew's 18th Birthday and we weren't going to let that one get away without a family get together.

It seems we timed our celebrations just right, as today our SA Government has announced a reduction in numbers for gatherings at home - we are now reduced to no more than 10 people.

Given what is happening in Melbourne, Victoria at the moment, I am more than happy to comply with our current restrictions - I really want this horrible disease/virus gone!

So, stay healthy everyone and take care!

You are not old, You are a classic!

I think this year is going to year of Milestone birthdays for a large portion of my friends .... me included!  LOL

My friend Karen, from high school celebrated her 60th birthday in a big way, with family and friends.  Sadly, I missed out on the party, as I came down with a terrible head cold and decided to keep my germs to myself LOL

Anyway, here is the card I made for her - of course using her favourite colour .... purple!

The Cut it Up challenge is to use your favourite colour (and a die) - one of my fave colours to feature on my cards has to be Gold!

The Sunday Stamps challenge is to pick 3 colours from the graphic below
 I used purple, gold, black & green :)
