Today is my husband's birthday. Crummy day for a birthday, the day after Christmas. It's often an overlooked day, with many of us heading to malls to return ugly Christmas sweaters, pants that don't fit, or that "perfect" Christmas gift that, um, just wasn't.
Of course, this year was different. So I vowed to make his day special.
And then...life got in the way. We had an opportunity to visit our grandkids in Northern California, whom we hadn't seen since July. Due to a medical need, (not COVID) the entire family had been isolating for 2 weeks, and had tested negative, so we decided to take a trip to visit for Christmas. And we planned to return home on December 26...Jim's birthday. Which meant a 9-hour car ride...no special breakfast or dinner 😕
So I made him a card, took it with us on our trip, and gave it to him this morning. Just a little cheer to let him know he hasn't been forgotten:
Jim likes Scotch Whiskey, so I thought this would be perfect. The stamp set is Whiskey Business; the decanter and glasses were stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends, then fussy-cut and popped up on a background of some In Good Taste patterned paper.
I stamped the greeting and cut it with the Stitched Rectangles dies.
Simple card, but I hope he knows I have his back...and a glass of Scotch will be waiting when we get home tonight!
