February 2016 Desktop Background & Letter from the Editor

January 29, 2016 by bluemountainecards

It’s February in a Leap Year!  If you’re deep in the doldrums of winter, what a great time to take a leap and try something new.  February 29th is Leap Day, which only happens every 4 years.  Here at Blue Mountain we’ve created a special birthday card just for the “leaplings” who had a 1 in 1,461 chance of being born on that day.  So it’s a perfect day to take a chance on a new relationship,  a new venture, or a new pasttime.  Get out your seed catalogs and plan a new garden.  Pick a new hairstyle for spring.  Go on an impromtu winter escape. It’s time to shake it up.

February kicks off with Groundhog Day on the 2nd.  Maybe our furry weatherman won’t see his shadow and we can expect an early spring.  Chinese New Year celebrations begin on the 9th for the Year of the Monkey, which according to the Chinese Zodiac, is an unpredictable year when anything can happen.  On that same day is Mardi Gras, which is aptly named, because in French it means “Fat Tuesday,” a day to eat, drink and be merry before fasting for the Lenten season.

With Valentine’s Day at its center, February is certainly a month of love.  If you are in a new relationship, or in a lasting one, we have new Valentines to celebrate that love.

As Shakespeare wrote: “They do not love that do not show their love.”  Be sure you’re loved ones know how special they are to you, on Valentine’s Day and every day.

Happy February!

January 2016 Desktop Background, and Letter from Editor

January 4, 2016 by bluemountainecards

Hello, January!   This month was named for Janus, the Roman God of beginnings and transitions, the guardian of exits and entrances.  He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past, reminding us that we are not defined by our past, we are prepared by it.  January is a new door we can walk through to a world filled with new energy, new ideas and new beginnings, bringing us closer to where we want to be this time next year.

January is typically the coldest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, but you can warm the hearts of friends and family with sunshine and smiles from Blue Mountain. Are there people you’d like to thank for making your holidays brighter?  For you, we created the new “Holiday Gratitude”–a heartfelt message of appreciation delivered with beautiful scenery and music.  For a lighter touch, “Barbershop Quartet” is a fun way to express your thanks.  We chose some inspirational quotations to be hand lettered for sending on birthdays, anniversaries and just because you’re thinking of someone.  For a great birthday laugh, we designed a greeting featuring Chihuahuas dancing to the well-known instrumental, “Tequila.” With our jazzy take on “Auld Lang Syne,” you can be the first to wish them a happy new year filled with the promise of new beginnings.

Let’s start something today that our future self will thank us for. A fun way to start the New Year, is with a beautiful image. Here’s our free background download for January – enjoy!
