80th Birthday




Challenges stretch my creative muscles and inspire me to get cards done.



I might actually mail this card in time for my Aunt's 

80th birthday.


Yes.


80th!


I am in awe of her!!!


She's strong and fiercely loving.


A real class act.


I attempted to create a classy card (rather then my usual funky fun/graphic type).








I used the beautiful
Waltzingmouse Sketch #128.







The lovely colors at







Finally,

CASE Study Challenge #122:Windy Robinson


inspired me to put on some glamor and floral for this card.


I realize I am the least glamorous gal ...but my Aunt deserves a card with flourish and loveliness...so am grateful for the push in that direction!
