Happy Friday, everyone. A quick
post, I'm on the road with
DH. We went to an antique tractor 
auction yesterday and are headed 
home again.  

Here is a card for Unity's Friends With Flair. 
Check out the details HERE and
Play along!!

I made this card in July for my bil's
retiring birthday.  They have since moved across
the country to 2 miles from us!
I used a background from the Layers of Life
and the sentiment from
Balloons to You Itty Bitty.


I colored in the 6 & 2 to highlight his age!

I showed you this card last week but
I just wasn't happy with it so I added
The Copics colored heart & pearls
& tied a cord along the top.  Better!


Have a great weekend! Happy Labor Day
to those who celebrate it!

  6. Your BIL card is fantastic! Fun that they are moving back "home". Maybe it'll help with the aging in-laws! I like the re-do on the second card, too.

  11. Love it. the card shows great masculine colors and love the way you call the attention to the main numbers for his age. And last week's card was cool... It's just that there's always room for improvement... specially when the one who makes the card is the one criticizing it....LOL...
