Day 1 Preview Week and Masculine Age

Good morning, Friends! Well, it's only four more nights till we leave! Wow!! I can't believe it's here! Last minute things to do this week including laundry. I need Nick to figure out if he has enough clothes to take. And I know we will be able to do laundry there but it's easier if we don't have to. Getting SO excited!! I will have my cards ready to post without me in case I have no internet access. I should but you just never know... So we all went for another mountain bike ride yesterday. I wore a tank top and now my shoulders are sporting a pretty good sunburn. Not terrible but it is uncomfortable. And Nick did the entire trail on his unicycle! Wow! I was so impressed! He is really good! So much fun!

Today's card was a totally different card in my mind but this is what emerged. Not my favorite but I thought it made for a nice masculine birthday card.

• Card base is Lost Lagoon
• Run a piece of Whisper White through the Big Shot using the On Film framelits dies
• Stamp the greeting from Age Awareness in Basic Grey onto a piece of Moonlight designer paper and adhere to the die cut piece
• Tie some linen thread around the bottom of die cut piece and adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp the candles onto a piece of Whisper White using Lost Lagoon ink and punch out with the 3/4" circle punch
• Adhere circle to a piece of Basic Grey that was punched with the 1" circle punch then adhere to an Essentials Wooden Elements circle then adhere to card
