Hello and welcome friends and visitors.
This passed week I celebrated a milestone birthday....my 50th!
I can honestly say that, mentally, I really don't feel that old (where oh where did those 50 years go?) but the body is certainly showing signs of wear and tear!!
I am fully resolved, however, to NOT grow old gracefully (despite the silver hair, although that appears to be all the rage right now).
Well, I didn't do anything special to mark the occasion, but it was a lovely day all the same.
So on to today's card.....
The supplies used here are
* Coconut White foundation card
* Make & Create design pad - Sweet Garden Roses
* Joanna Sheen Signature Dies - Isobel Lace
* Sue Wilson/Creative Expressions - Stitched Flags
* Make & Create Border Die
* Magazine freebie sentiment die and stamp set
* Pearls from my stash
I really wanted a rosette on this card and, at the time of making, I didn't have a rosette die and only one border die that would suffice. So this is the result and I don't think it's too bad really.
Once again I used the Sweet Garden Roses pad as this was also a card made for my darling Daughter's birthday just gone. I wanted both cards to have a very similar look but still to be different from one another.
I'm very pleased to say that she loved it, I hope you do too.
For those interested, I managed to gain my 1 Stone award at SW this week! I am struggling a little this week though (I'll put that down to birthday treats!). I've even been considering buying some home exercise equipment but I'm unsure what to get with my dodgy joints! I'll keep looking lol.
So my friends. That's my card for this week.
Please stop by again on Wednesday for my next Amazing Paper Grace card.
Thank you so much for your visit today. Have a wonderful weekend and take care.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much Ursula. I think everyone expected me to have some sort of celebration....but I explained I was only 1 day older than the day before 😂 xx
DeleteHi Jo happy belated birthday, hope you had a fantastic day. Your card is lovely, a little different to your usual, but I love the rosette, always handy for a gentleman's card. Many congratulations on your stone award, you are doing so well, we all have a little blip now and again and quite justified due to your birthday. Take care xx
