Good morning my friends. Yesterday I turned 50; or 49 + 1 or the 11th anniversary of my 39th birthday, which is the way I'm going to look at it. I don't feel any different or look any different. They say it's just a number, but anything ending with a zero after 40, no. I can no longer say I'm in my 40s and I'm sure not going to say I'm in my 50s because that leaves the age guessing game wide open. Usually, I flip out the birthday before "the big one," because I know what's coming next. This might take some time to get used to.
But, I did make you two cards today! One is for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge 225 (FTTC225) to use scallops on your card. The other challenge is for Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge 159 (ODBDSLC159), which is a sketch challenge and that is where I got my sketch from. I will make another card using their products to enter the challenge. Both cards are below.
Thank you so much for stopping by to see me today and God bless you.
Don't forget that registration is now open for my Just Cards! class. I hope to see you there.
