consider this your personal "thank you" card … from me to you. for all the sweet comments you left for sarah and her photos … she loved them all!

Bg_thanks_card

i started this card with scraps from this layout a few weeks ago … and it just sat and sat. i finally decided to finish it up. these flowers are actually diecuts .. some super old my mind's eye diecuts from a card kit. not even sure how i found them … but they matched perfectly. the metal flower charm and fabric tag are older making memories products. nothing crazy … just a simple card.

keeping this one short and sweet. the super busy weekend … and a few busy days with kids … has left me feeling unbelievable tired and sore. or maybe it's the old age kicking in. that's right my friends … tomorrow i add another number to my age. that number is getting way too high … makes it sound like i should be a grownup by now! which i am certainly NOT. but i'm determined to have an excellent birthday … no matter what!

    Well Happy Birthday. I feel the same way when my birthday rolls around, it reminds me I’m an a adult (I must forget the rest of the year) and not in my 20’s anymore and that I haven’t been for awhile! I just wonder all of the years went, they went by so fast! Have a good one!

    Well then Happy Birthday tomorrow 🙂 You don’t look so old 🙂
    Nice Card btw. The background is Basic Grey right?
    Did you add some dot’s to the red paper or is it simply that way?

    Laura, you see the items you used on the card as just old stuff but you made the card new and fresh for all of us who have the pleasure of seeing it. You inspire me even when you think things are simple…
    If you are not getting older, you’re dead…at least that is the way I see things these days since I will be turning 50 in September. I hope your birthday is filled with wonderful surprises and happiness. Happy, Happy Birthday girlfriend!
