Birthday and a Sneak Peek

Today's masculine birthday card features my favorite theme....that classic truck in the Countryside stamp set.  This is for someone special whose birthday is today (I can't name names unless I get approval from a family member first). 

Anyhoo, all that mystery aside, if you look closely, you'll notice a new embossed frame you've never seen before!  It's called Framed Tulips, and is coming out in the new Occasion's Mini Catalog, which starts January 4th.

Wait until you see what else is coming in the new cattie next month!  If you are a customer of mine, you're already on the list to get a 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog as soon as it is released (around the middle of this month).  If you aren't a customer of mine, but would like to be one, please contact me so I can send it to you!

RAMBLINGS

Couple of quick notes here, as I come up for air from my stamping frenzy.  First, I want to remind everyone about the Stampin' Addicts New Catalog Mega Hop tomorrow, showcasing goodies from the newly released SU Idea Book & Catalog!  I'll be featuring the Countryside stamp set; doesn't it just give you a homey feeling?  No, not homey as in home-boy.....sheesh.  I love old cars and trucks, and this truck just really appeals to me.  It ap-peels to me, too, get it?  

Be sure to check back any time between tomorrow morning and Sunday night to see what everyone has done with their featured stamp set and/or accessories.  You can start here and just follow the links to the next stop that will be posted on every page.  It it scheduled to go live at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time and end at midnight Sunday.  You will be inspired!!!

Second, I wanted to post a quick card that was made for my sister to give her friend, who just lost her brother after a long illness.
