Year of the Horse

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to our 2nd day of Introductory Posts for Release #10!  Did you get a chance to look up what your Chinese Zodiac sign is?  Well, if you are Year of the Horse, 2014 is your year!  I don't know many horses, but I do know one.. my sister-in-law is born year of the horse.  When I read the characteristics found on this site... I started laughing!  Many of the characteristics they use to describe the horse are not like my sister-in-law at all, but she is extremely intelligent and honest,which are also characteristics of the horse.  Hmmm... maybe I need to find a new site!

OK on to our project!  Aunty Jan made another calender using the Year of the Horse stamp.  I really like that she printed "Year of the Horse" on the computer then stamped the horse over it.  I always forget that I can do that too.  The small piece of washi was just enough of an accent to make the calendar stand out too.  Above the horse she used corners that were cut from an old Sizzix die set.  They look really asian and match the theme perfectly.  And did you notice?  The horse is dressed up too!  She used some baker's twine to make a harness for the horse.  I think if you click on the picture it will enlarge it for you to get a better look.


Are you ready for more candy?  All you have to do is:

1.  Leave a comment on THIS POST by Friday, 11/30/12, 11:59pm HST.
2.  Tell me if your sign is compatible with the Year of the Horse.

Good luck and thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check in tomorrow to find out who our Guest Designers are!

  1. Another cute stamp! The horse looks a little bashful ... I am a sheep; it doesn't say if I am compatible with the horse, just the rabbit & pig! I would think we would get along, though, since we are all farm animals! :)

    Yep, I'm compatible with a horse because I'm a DOG...but not the "what's up Dawg?" kind of dog, if you know what I mean!

  13. Woohoo! I am so excited for the zodiac stamps!!! (I prebought these already). My fiancee is a horse and for years I thought I was a rat since I was born in 1984. Turns out I should go by the Chinese calendar (duh) so I'm actually a Pig, which according to the link you attached is a good thing because Horses are incompatible with Rats!
