Birthday Blooms!

Well I realize it has been awhile since I last posted. Christmas was hectic, and I was in a bit of a creative slump to be completely honest. I hope everyone had a great Christmas & that you were all fortunate enough to bring in the New Year with those you love. Of course, with the New Year comes those resolutions that we can never seem to keep. I'm awful keen on sticking to mine this year. My one goal is to send out cards to all my close friends & family for their birthdays this year. I think I can keep to it, and it motivates me to keep stamping all year!

I've been debating getting the Stampin' Up! paper trimmer for awhile now, and I was so set on doing it at the end of the month. My current trimmer is just garbage now. I mean, it's probably fine other than the fact that it needs a new blade, but it was a limited edition trimmer that they no longer make blades for. My paper has been getting little paper fibers every time I use it, and finally the paper started tearing. I decided I just couldn't wait until the end of the month, so I went to Staples and got the Fiskars trimmer. Honestly, I was so happy just to have nice clean cuts, it put me right in the mood to get creative.

So I created this little gem! It's super simple, but pulled me right out of my slump.

Now I think I have one of my birthday cards done for this month. ;)

Happy Stamping!
