Year of the Ox

So do you like the previews so far?  Those little sea creatures have totally won my heart!  But wait... there's more!  Remember- we still have the Chinese Zodiac images that are scheduled to release next month too!  First up is our Ox image. 

Remember I told you earlier that I have family members in almost every zodiac sign?  Well, guess who is Year of the Ox in my family?


Yup, you guessed it.. It's ME!  Your's truly.  I found that I don't have very many baby pictures of myself, so I went through some of my sister's photos and found one of her holding me.  I guess that's what happens when you are the youngest child... hardly any pictures of just you.

For some reason I wanted to use my polaroid stamp by Lawn Fawn.  Stamped another one on the kanji paper and then cut out the square so it fit nicely inside the frame.  Then I colored and cut out the ox.


Let me just say a few things about my sign.  It's not my favorite of the zodiac animals.  The only consolation is that it was SUPPOSED to be the first animal on the boat, but the sneaky rat got on first.  Overall, I think its one of the uglier animals... so I asked my sister to try her best to make it cute.  I think she did a good job!  I think this is the first ox that I've ever liked. :)

The sentiment is from Island Scrapbooking. It was originally for "Year of the Snake" but I just cut off the Snake and used some old Doodlebug rub ons to spell Ox.

So any other Ox's out there?  If you would like a chance to win this Ox stamp just do the following:
1) Leave a comment on THIS POST by 07/31/13 11:59pm HST; and
2) Tell me if you like your Chinese Zodiac sign.
