Bada Boom

 
I was jolted awake the other morning - Bada Boom - with the thought that I am turning 65.  Because I do not feel 65, I feel 50.  I'm one to joke that 60 is the new 40 ha ha but when the big 65 came up for me, I wasn't laughing.  My BFF from high school had undergone this milestone two months ahead of me.  I decided to make a card for our shared shocking experience.   


Good ol' Graphic 45 papers and stamps brought it all together in a fun way.  I stamped that adorable zeppelin face on clear plastic to layer on top of the same image stamped on paper.  I cut out a circle on the front panel of the card so that the stamped image showed.  I just love these two new collections, Steampunk Spells and Bohemian Bazaar. 
And, yes I did buy myself a birthday present.  These fierce Sam Edelman sandals that I first saw months ago.  Got them on sale from...wait for it...Amazon.com. Bada Boom.

Love the Zeppelin as the focal for these gorgeous cards. Sending you the happiest of birthday wishes and the best for the year to come!

You may win me over to gladiators yet, Charlotte.
You seem perpetually NOT 65. You're so hip and stylish and fun.

I'd have guessed 50's after meeting you. I figured we were about the same age
