Each year for my birthday, I try to think of a new place that my friends and I can go for the day. This year we went to Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown. Then we took a ride on the Glimmerglass Queen for a tour around Otsego Lake. It was a beautiful and day and even more fun to spend it with some friends. :)
For my Thank You cards this year, I chose to use the Happier Forest Friends suite in the new catalog. I didn't really do any stamping; it's all just cutting out the animals from the designer papers. I just love the little bear and his "friends."
Each card came out a little differently, depending on what the scene looked like from the designer paper. I love the colors of this suite, the whimsical look to the animals and how nicely they all came together. For some of the cards, I cut out some trees from the cut outs to add to the scene and to have a place to put the little owl.
Thank you to all of my friends, for your gifts, time, friendship and love. I enjoyed the luncheons, dinners, Van Gogh Experience and spending time with each of you. :)

This painting looks so real!
Sailing on the "Queen"
I can't even wait to use this set again! And even though it is very whimsical, it's not just for kids. Maybe next time the bear will come "camping" with me.
