It's definitely true, when you get older that clock does seem to move faster! Maybe, not to sound morbid, but we perhaps acknowledge our mortality, and now we realise, gosh, I better do those things I had always put off for another day before there is no other day. Anyway, just a thought I had out loud.
Ok, I went looking for some challenges that would fit in with some cards I needed to make I decided to go with The Birthday Sketch Challenge in the Moxie Fab World which can be found HERE. This is the sketch that was on offer:
I rotated the card around for this one.
I've also decided to add this to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge which is Anything Goes, just can't pass that up!
This is a card for a special little girl, my friends' daughter who turns 8 tomorrow. And here is what I came up with:
Paper: cardstock (PTI); Neenah
Ink: Hero Arts; Versafine
Stamps: Hero Arts (Long Branch; Howl Are You)
Other: Stickles
Oops, and as I type this I just realised that Cath said either a card with "all stamping" or "no stamping", so I guess Stickles is a problem. Oh well, c'est la vie. I had fun, that's what counts. I like that I could represent our family with the Owls, just the three of us.
I think I am starting to "feel it" again, you know, the excitement of crafting, so perhaps you will see me around a bit more. Off to make this little girl's brother a birthday card as he turns 10 on the same day! No pressure!
Have a fabulous day!
