This is my first post of 2021. Hope you all had a nice New Years Eve. My husband and I spent the night at home.
Planned on making a big pot of potato soup, that didn't happen. So we order some pizza from Pizza Hut and had some chips and salsa.
Was kind of sad being home. New Years Eve is when my side of the family gets together for our Christmas party. So I missed being with everyone.
We had a nice Christmas. We had a Christmas dinner at our daughters. Great that they now live right next door.
For my first card share this year I made a birthday card for my niece Amy.
Amy canned a lot this year, so I thought the canning jar images would be perfect. This stamp set is called Jars of Love from Stampin Up. (Love this set).
The sentiment is from a set called Well Scripted. Also from Stampin Up.
The die I used for the decorative border is from Pretty Pink Posh called Stitched Borders 2.
The cardstocks used are Cherry Cobbler, Soft Sky and white.
Inks I used are-Cherry Cobbler, Soft Sky, Old Olive, Basic Gray, Pretty In Pink and Momento Black.
I was almost done with the card when my grand daughter Scarlett came in and said aren't you going to add a ribbon? I told her that I wasn't for sure if I was or not. She said "You have to".
So she pulled out several and none looked right. She got out the twine and that worked the best. I told her she is a natural. Glad she decided to come over. Thank you Scarlett for helping me.
I also thought I would share a few pictures that I took a few days ago of some of the birds that were in my backyard. I Love birds and could watch them for hours.
