Seize the Birthday Linky Party #1

There is a fun new challenge blog called Seize the Birthday that is all about birthdays.  I wanted to participate in the first Linky Party which is simply to either create a new birthday card or to re-post an old favourite.  I am re-posting an old favourite from July 2012 as I just sent this card out in the mail to my niece who lives in Vancouver.  Hope it brightened her day, it rains a lot in Vancouver.

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Tag 22

I have been loving the reindeer images in the Hero Arts set I bought at Michael's last week, the number is CL540.  A great set to use with Copic markers.  This reindeer is bigger than most standard tags and I really didn't think I could tackle those antlers to fussy cut.  So I created a custom tag. To miter my corners evenly I cut one side, flipped the cut piece over and held it over the opposite corner where I could see exactly where I needed to cut.  In creates perfect mitered corners.

Cardstock:  White (Papertrey Ink)

Stamps: Reindeer (Hero Arts CL540) Santa Notes(Neat and Tangled)
Ink:  Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)

Tonight after school my daughter and I baked 72 cookies for the family cookie exchange on Sunday.  I tried this new recipe for Candy Cane Blossoms and I promise they were so yummy.   

While we were baking my son was at a job interview for Target Canada.  We don't have Target in Canada, but we are getting it after Christmas--Woo Hoo.  Long story short he got the job, his first part time job!

Is it just me or do you feel like it have been forever since making a card that is not for the holidays.   This week's Dynamic Duos colours said Valentine to me, so this is the beginning of cards for my 2013 Valentines. ;)  Just in the nick of time.

25 Days of Christmas Tags - Tag 21 (A)

In our family of  5 siblings, 14 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren the cousins draw names at Christmas.  Brooklyn drew her cousin Sean who is leaving tomorrow morning to head back to Fort McMurray, Alberta and will not be back home for Christmas.  So she wanted to chose this masculine tag that wasn't too girlie!

Merry Christmas Sean!
