Today is my brother’s birthday, and this is the card I made and sent to him. He is a purist and likes simple and uncomplicated things. He is also a deep thinker, so though this card may not be a “stunner” in the creative artistic sense, I think it is perfect for him.
The StampinUp Moon Lake stamp is stamped onto white paper. I then overlaid it with vellum that I stamped the sentiment on and stitched it to the white (so you can lift it to see the boat and tree clearer – kinda symbolic of the message if you get my drift). I added a few clear star stickers to embellish just a bit, framed it up with black and then blue card stock and adhered to a white card base.
I’m thinking of my brother today and wishing him a year full of simple, uncomplicated pleasures and happiness. I love him dearly.
What do you see today?
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Love it, Jodi! Sometimes the simplest stuff is the best. Happy Day to your bro.

For me, so meaningful. I use the olde and oft used cliche that ” one can’t see the forest for the trees”. Wishing your brother a good year. Sometimes we all have to look a wee bit harder to really “see”.

Jodi, that card is beautiful, yet perfect for a man. It is elegant and classy, yet manly. I love it! I don’t know your brother but I would make a bet that he loves it too! (Brothers are special).

I see a sister who is sensitive enough to her brother’s personality that she creates a perfect card for him.
