Hullo there everyone!! Don't you love Fridays?? well they are even better since Annie started the Friday smile blog hop.. do pop over and join in the fun HERE!
When I am able, I join in. Well, today I definitely had lots of reasons to join it!
+(800x600).jpg)
Number one reason is my unexpectedly delightful happy mail the postie brought to my box today, Friday!!
When lifted the lid what did I spy but a lovely Queen stamp showing UK postal mark...
...and lo! a Parcel from Di of Pixie's Crafty Workshop and Snippets blog hop.
Woo hoo! what fun! What do you know? dear kind-hearted Di bought all of Ryn's lovely red rubber bubbly stamps so there was a worldwide shortage when folk went to buy them, just so she give them as prizes to the playmates at the Playground.. isn't such she a sweetie? thanks Di! fancy posting it all the way downunder too, what a trooper!

Well, tomorrow is my youngest nephew's birthday and from youngest years he has loved Garfield. it is just so happens Garfield's birthday is a the same time of year each year so the jokes are age birthday jokes.

This was this week's paper, I made it up into a card for him. Inked the background snippet in two background stamps, both Hero Arts,
one the linen stamp and the other the spot in Garfield like colours with
a light dusting of gold pigment ink at the end.

Heh-heh! sorry, that is soooo Michael { and so me, too}! it runs in the family :D

May God richly bless your day wherever you may be,
Shaz in Oz.x

ReplyDeleteThat card is just brilliant ....sounds perfect for the birthday 'boy' ...and the cartoon so made me smile .....I need a t-shirt with it on. xx
ReplyDeleteGood day, Shaz. Sorry to be so late visiting this week - it has been a bit manic one way or another!!
ReplyDeleteSo, your two posts - love the garfield!! I know how the sieve feels.... my memory just seems to be in overload at the moment - so much going on in it.
Thank you for posting a picture of the atc - hubby was so thrilled to see it there.
Are those parakeets from Wednesday's post, in your garden?? And is that sanseveiria growing there? It is a houseplant over here. I had one which was nearly 4feet tall - but it didn't survive the house move last year.
Your pineapple looks amazing. Enjoy it when it is ready to be picked.
Have a great week.

This card is just too cute! I love Garfield too, and lucky you to have the comic appear just as you needed it. Made into a fabulously adorable card. And BTW, congrats on your Ryn win...and yes, Miss Pixie is indeed a very gracious & generous leader of the Playground group. Fancy her buying up all the stamps just to gift them to some lucky folks. You don't find this quality in too many people. We are lucky to know Miss Pixie. Yes we are. Have a wonderful wkend. Hugs & TFS
ReplyDeleteWasn't Miss Di a sneeky one? I am hoping to stamp mine tomorrow if I am well enough to go in my room! Need some warm dry weather right now!
ReplyDeleteLove Garfield too! I can so sympathise with him right now. Didn't realise he was a June baby too!

Got mine to play with too but must make two cards for a swap first that are way too late already. They are going to Oz too!! Hugs Mrs a.
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz...what a fab card. I so love Garfield and that bubble stamp is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comments and for becoming a follower. I am now following you too.
Have a great week and best wishes
