I have an aunt that turns 100 today, May 27th! WOW...WOW...WOW! It is definitely hard to believe...almost takes your breath away. I wish I could claim to have her genes, but unfortunately she is an aunt-in-law (my mother's brother's wife). I know she is French Canadian by birth and had 13 brothers and sisters, and somewhere, she has longevity in her DNA!! I do know that she never smoked, liked her coffee and loved her wine. (My uncle was kind of a wine snob.) So, if any of those things helped, we had all better get to it!
Last year, I made her a fashion card, because she always, always looked like she had just left a couture designer shop...dressed to perfection. This year, I thought I'd just make a very feminine card for my petite 4-foot 9-inch aunt. So, I chose a card I made using a design from a Rebecca Feeken card kit I received while I was subscribed to her short-lived monthly card kit. We received exclusive dies with each kit that were designed by her and made for her by Spellbinders Paper Arts and exclusive stamps made by JustRite Stamps. It is a card with many, many layers, and elevations; therefore, it will definitely have to be mailed as a parcel...no getting a break in postage on this one! But, I think she will love it!
My finished inside design to coordinate with the outside. I just love to do those details and add my own verse sited to each card and person to whom it is to be delivered.
