HB: A Happy Birthday with Hello Bluebird

 

I made this card recently, and gave it to a friend at church who was having a birthday. I hope she likes mice!

I've been playing with my Hello Bluebird stamps while I wait for the new release on July 10th. I'm hoping some things get re-stocked as well. HB is not a a company that is constantly putting out new releases every month, and I appreciate that. They tend to be more seasonal with their releases. Sometimes, it's hard to keep up with all the latest offerings.

And speaking of "keeping up", I recently acquired a bunch of new COPIC markers thanks to an online forum friend who was selling hers. Thanks, Sheila!

I take photos of my markers to remember what I've got...just in case I stumble upon a sale somewhere!

I've had a lot of my markers for nearly 8 years now. Not a bad investment! I'm sure there are some crafters who use theirs constantly and run out of ink all the time. That doesn't seem to be the case for me. (My Prisma markers? Some of them are probably close to 15 years old and going strong!)

They sure do come in handy when it's time to color my HB images!

Today is summer solstice, the longest day of the year! Hope your day is full of lots of sunshine and cheerfulness!
