For this weeks Lawn Fawn challenge (Birthday)
and for Simon Say Stamp (use something new - I used my new Fiskars cloud punch)
I made this for a friend of mine who had a birthday recently and shares my love of chocolate milk - we've decided that someday, we're going to open up our own dairy farm and invent chocolate milk cows - thus the sentiment inside of the card - 'may all your dreams come true'. ;)
So today is my birthday, and to thank for God allowing me to bumble around the earth this long (and also in gratitude of being a Hero Arts fab five recently), I'm giving away one Hero Arts stamp set of your choice!
If I were you, I'd be thinking along the lines of THIS gorgeous stamp, or THIS perfect masucline set, or THIS pretty collage set - yummm! Or maybe one of those new Sizzix-Hero Arts combos...mmmm...
All you have to do is leave a comment, and, as always, if you're a follower, you get an extra entry (leave a second comment letting me know).
Hurry up, because this is only open till this Wednesday (the 12th) at midnight!
Now I'm off to go to Mass, and then, to the stamp store! It'll be the first time in my cardmaking 'career' that I've actually been to one, so yes, a little bit excited here. ;)

Clare - I am fairly new to the HA Flickr group, but I LOVE seeing your stuff! You're so very talented. And this chocolate milk cow card does not disappoint. It's funny, the first thing I said (out loud, to myself :)) was "ooh! I love that ribbon". And your very next comment was how it looked funky/ugly in the pic and so much better IRL. LOL! Thanks for the chance at a giveaway!
