January Birthdays

Hello...

I hope you are all well and having a good week ... 
It's been a busy one here and I got to meet up with the son of my dear blog friend Stella
Her lovely boy will be spending 6 months at Liverpool University and we found him a nice place to stay ... Here we are meeting up


In a few months time I will finally get to meet Stella and her husband too!

January is the start of another year of Birthdays and Anniversaries ... I celebrate both my anniversary and birthday this month and so does a sweet friend of mine ...
Here's a little birthday card I made for her


 I cut a lot of stars out for Christmas cards together with various other things and I bet like me there are things you cut and didn't use ... So I'm using up all those bits 


It's been a long time since I inked up that Happy Birthday stamp ... I've had it for years, in fact the only 'new' thing on this card is the lovely pink jewel scroll which I got from my friend Char
I like to cut them into different pieces and that way I get more use out of them


I do hope you enjoy your day and for those of you shivering in the arctic winter weather ... Be safe and stay warm

Till soon

How wonderful to meet Stella's son & what a treat it will be when you meet her! Just wish it could be a threesome with me there, too. I do have die cut stars I didn't use. Both you & Stella have used stars on BD cards which I never thought to do. Thanks for always inspiring me, Ros!

How sweet to meet up with Stella's son! I'm sure he and Stella appreciated it! Your card is so lovely with color and fabulous silver stars!

Stella said...

You really made my day with that wonderful photo of the two of you. And we are so very grateful that you are there for our son. I am so looking forward to April; it will be a wonderful spring!
I love what you did with the star die cuts; it's perfect for a birthday card. I did the same for my card at CCCB :)
Love that jewel scroll too; such a smart idea to cut it into pieces.
Talk to you soon; sending love from us,
Stella
XXXXXXX

Gorgeous! The pink and silver are stunning together. That shiny star with its pink trail of diamonds steals the show.
