50th Birthday

 Hello Friends!

Well, here we are on the LAST weekend of MAY 2026 ... the time is certainly zipping by!!

I had a request for a couple personalized birthday cards from my weekly luncheon friend Sue so I thought I share one of those cards with you today.  

 
(Inside) 

 I spotted the card design out on FB awhile back and saved it for future inspiration and today's the day!  Here's the reel that inspired me:  https://www.facebook.com/reel/3059207407802557.  Even though the 'inside' card base looks more red, it is really pink like the front cover photo shows  as are the words/numbers.

The decorative panel was from my scrap box and the coordinating 1/2" strips are also from scraps.  The Heartfelt Creations stamped & die cut flowers are 'left overs' from several years ago when I demo'd for Heartfelt Creations at the local Adventures in Stamping convention held here in Akron every Spring.  Little by little I'm using them up lol ...   Tombow markers were used to color my flowers and I used a circle die to cut out my circle.

  Challenges to share in:

I appreciate it more than you'll ever know!

As always . . .
