My Mum has a beautiful friend called Valerie, who turns 80 this week. I'll admit that making an 80th card for Valerie was a bit strange, because she doesn't look a day over 60. I'm not just saying this to be nice, I even confirmed with Mum three times, just to be certain! Valerie always looks finished. Her hair and makeup is always perfect and she wears higher heels than I do. She is quick witted and as sharp as an axe and I'm sure you can imagine why I struggled making an 80th card for this *not so* old dear!
I was truly inspired by greens. whites and purples from our beautiful lavender growing along our white picket fence. The sun was beaming on it today and last week and I picked some for my craft room. I decided to use that colour scheme in today's card because it's just so pretty.
I used the Number of Years stamp set with the Large Numbers Framelits. I also love the little flowers in the Jar of Love Set, they so pretty and easy to cut using the Everyday Jar Framelits.
