Have a Cup of Cheer!



Happy Friday Eve my friends!  It's my birthday today...in addition to sharing my card, I thought I'd have a little giveaway. It's been way to long since I've had one!  So...I have a few things in my stash that I'll pop in the mail to you along with a $20 gift certificate to one of the following:  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps; Verve or Simon Says Stamps.  Any of those three would be super fun!   Pop me a note and let me know what you are most thankful for right now and I'll do a random drawing some time next week.  How's that for sharing a little birthday cheer?!

My card today is inspired by the CASology challenge. When I saw the cue word, I immediately thought coffee or tea.  Both of them are brown!  A super CAS card for CASology using some fun new Verve stamps.

Happy Birthday, Lynn! I hope you have a fabulous day!

I am most thankful for my family right now. My girls are struggling through the end of school year chaos, and feeling overwhelmed, but a hug from Mummy still fixes everything! :-)

A little bird told me it was your birthday so I came to say Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful year!

I am thankful for my family and friends and my sweet little one who gives me joy and giggles each day! :)

Happy Birthday Lynn! I hope you have a fantastic day today. Pat and the boys should spoil you rotten:)

You don't need to include me in the giveaway. I don't even have time to craft right now:( Just had this day marked on my calendar to pop by and wish you a Happy Birthday!

Lynn, I saw Tracey's post today that it is your birthday and I came over to wish you a happy day...what a nice surprise to see your sweet post and your awesome CAS card for CASology! I love the little coffee cups (I think I need to get some right now...)...what a perfect take on the BROWN cue this week!

I have to tell you how much I admire your work and always have, honestly...I think I have pinned a million of your cards on my "Cards I Adore" Pinterest board! Your CAS style is a constant inspiration to me...just wanted to let you know!

With that in mind, I am thankful for this crafting community to which we belong...people like you inspire me to be a better card maker and bring much joy to my daily life!

Happy Birthday Lynn! Found you through Tracey's blog and have enjoyed a trip through all your fabulous CAS cards! Love this little coffee mug card and creative that brown means coffee to you! I am always thankful for my wonderful husband and children. Although they are now grown, I still see them as they were years ago!

Happy Happy Birthday, dear Lynn!

May you always have
Walls for the winds,
A roof for the rain,
Tea beside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all your heart might desire.

Have a wonderful birthday and a year filled with all good things!

HUGE Happy Birthday ((HUG)) from across the miles. Wishing you a blessed day and a great year ahead. May the boys spoil you rotten today!!

Love the card - such cute mugs and makes me want a latte LOL!

What I'm most thankful for is my mom progressively getting better after her car accident. Slow and steady, but moving forward :)

Happy Happy Birthday!!! I love your blog so much!

I am thankful for new life! I live in Ohio. I have a sister who lives in Maryland who had a baby two weeks ago. And a sister who lives in Colorado who is having a baby RIGHT NOW! I am so thankful for precious new babies to love. My own three kids can't wait to meet new cousins at Christmas!

Happy, happy birthday, my friend! Such a sweet card! LOVE those bitty cups to bits! I'm most thankful for my hubby being home for the weekend tonight. Yay!

sandie said...

I am a bit late with my Birthday wishes on your blog! But I hope it was a good one.
And, I don't need to hesitate with my answer at this time especially....I am most thankful for my dear husbands love and support plus the love and support from my Mum and Dad and whole family-but you know that x

Sue Lelli said...

I hope you had a WONDERFUL Birthday my Dear Blog Friend! I am sure you were spoiled by your family! CUTE card with the cups! LOVE the bright colors, too!

Lindsey said...

How super sweet of you! Happy (belated) birthday! You should be the one receiving the birthday cheer. :) I've loved reading all the wonderful things your blogging friends have written about you on their blogs. I am so thankful to be a mother....I received some of the best squeezes (hugs) today from my toddler that made me poignantly aware of how very blessed I am.

Kathy Mc said...

Hope you had a great birthday, Lynn! Your brightly colored "cups" of cheer really fit the bill for a cue of brown. Very clever. Not only am I very thankful for my dear husband, but I am SO thankful for good health. Right now I've been worrying so about my BIL who is very, very sick with no confirmed diagnosis of what's wrong. Thankful they say no cancer but now being tested for Lyme Disease. We need answers soon! That's so sweet of you to have a giveaway in honor of your birthday and appreciate the chance to win.

Melissa said...

Uh oh. Coffee cups?! CHEVRON coffee cups?! I'm thinking I need to go see what that set looks like now. sigh. :}
This is perfectly CAS and so cheerful! LOVE it! Thanks so much for joining us at CASology this week!
And a giveaway too?! I'd have to say I am most thankful for family right now. Life has so much meaning with family!
