Rustic Birthday Card

My son Andy recently celebrated a birthday, his 31st! I'm sure I'm not old enough to have a kid that old. He worked at Hume Lake Christian Camps in the Kings Canyon National Forest for a few years after high school. He had many, way too close, encounters with bears so I knew he would get a kick out of this card design. Bears, woodgrain, and trees; perfect elements for a guy card. By the way, I've had a number of bear encounters at Hume Lake too, luckily they were not too close.

Birthday Card Inspired by Joy!

When I saw THIS fabulous card by Joy Taylor I warned her that I would be CASE-ing it. I loved everything about her original and since I needed a birthday card for my boss, it proved to be the perfect inspiration. Thanks, Joy!


I switched out the typewriter to phones from Hero Arts Just Saying Hi clear set. The greeting is from my favorite Essential Messages set. La Letter and Old Letter Writing play supporting roles on the tag and background.
The phones are significant on this card because although I've worked for my attorney boss for a year I've been reluctant to answer the phones, preferring to stick to my comfort zone of accounting and billing. I'm branching out this year and will be learning more duties of a legal secretary, should be interesting.

I'm hoping to start my new "thought for the week" feature in the next few weeks. I have been wanting to combine my interest in collage with my desire to share God's Word. Each week I plan to share a new art piece along with a verse or thought for the week. I'm hoping to include some of my insights throughout the week too.

New year, new challenges. Still working on the new look for my blog (attempting to design and implement a new banner and buttons myself) but with working more hours and managing hubby's new business, time for projects is at a premium. It's all good and it will all get done, eventually.
