Birthday Hogs 'N Kisses

There's just something about cute animal stamps that drawn me to them. As much as I've been into floral cards lately, I do still love making cute cards.

When I saw this cute Birthday Farm Animal from Simon Says Stamp, I thought I should get this one. The critters are too cute to pass. And, to my surprise, my order actually came within days. When I placed my order, I placed it with the expectation that they won't be shipped till a week later as usual. Low & behold, I got the shipping notification the next day! 

I do wish we could use the free shipping coupon with our gift certificate. That's the only downfall. I have to choose one or the other. Anyway, I am just glad that there's some improvement.

Shopping story aside, I played with the farm animal set and made this mini card for Simon Says Stamp Make It Sparkle Challenge.



I added glitz glitter to the balloon & the party hat. Pretty quick & easy card.

On a side note, this past weekend, hubby and I went to see Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson Immortal Tour. We're both fans of Cirque du Soleil, so we always try to go when one come to town. The show was very entertaining as always. The show was very well done and at the end it was almost like as if you're at a concert as everyone just stand and clapping or dancing along. Make you realize what an amazing artist MJ was. 

It was a wonderful tribute to MJ. I got teary eyed a bit when I saw the clip from the song I'll Be There and it showed the young MJ. Love that song. LOL, I told hubby, every time I thought oh, I think this one is my favorite song of his, then came another song and I was like, nope this one.

I am hoping Cirque du Soleil The Beatles would come to town. I think that would be a blast to see as well. That'sit from me peeps. Hope your week day starts off wonderfully!
