Almost 40

This is a birthday card using the sketch from the Clean and Simple blog, and the color challenge from the Paper Players blog. I guess I have birthdays on the brain - my 40th is coming up very very very soon (sigh). Getting older was always something that happened to other people, but now I cannot ignore the signs that it is happening to me as well. But then again, they say that life begins at 40, and every day that God gives us is a reason to celebrate!

I am so into the quilling technique right now, and this card was bouncing around in my head for a couple of days, and early this morning it finally came together. I used grosgrain white ribbon for the balloon strings, and added liquid pink pearls on the sentiment strip.





Thanks for looking!
-Brenda

Great Job, Brenda, inspiring as usual. 40 is SMALL potatoes. lol. Add a score to that for me this year (note I didn't say the #). I agree that God blesses it all.
