Happy Birthday

I guess while I was away, my creativity went on vacation, too.  I have not had the inspiration or energy to get any cards made so I'm posting a couple that I made before I left.

Today is Lisa and Brian's birthday but we celebrated with my entire family last Saturday and I gave them their cards then.


This is Lisa's.  The frame is cut from Sophisticated out of copper shimmer paper.  I backed it with some shiny vellum, added some bling, and sparkled up the number.  The tag is printed from the computer to match the font on the background paper.


Brian's card is decidedly masculine.  I ran the blue Core-dinations paper through my Cuttlebug with the numbers folder and sanded it. The numbers were cut with my Cricut in light blue, shadowed in green to match the plaid paper.  I guess I didn't spell check my sentiment when I printed it on the computer.  That, or else I'm stuttering when I say that.  lol.  The inside says "I'm barely over 50 myself."



And here they are.  They don't look 50, do they?  But they say 50 is the new 30. :)

Thanks for stopping by.  See you later.

Great cards, Bobby, and no kidding they don't look 50! They look like they could say they are 39 and get away with it! Hope your Nojo goes away soon, bad fellow!!

I wish I looked that good at 50! Sweet cards too. And just relax; Mr. Mojo will return, I promise! Bev

Oh wow, I wonder what their secret is ... they are off by at least 10 years!! I'm sure they loved their personalized cards too ... that frame on the feminine one is so fancy!

Welcome back! Sssuper cards!! (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) I once created a card with letters from my Cricut and it was only after I posted pictures that I realized I'd spelled a word wrong. It happens, and adds to the individuality of our creations!! Both cards are wonderful!

These are fabulous cards. I'll tell you that I totally believe that 50 is the new 30. Or it better be. They don't look old to me, but I am over 50 and don't feel old either (most of the time anyway).

Your cards are super Bobby!! I love the sparkle on the "girl" card, and the guy card is terrific...those are so hard for me! I love the embossing and angled sentiment!!
