Mom will be 96 : )

Hello friends : ) I hope you are having a wonderful day and that you are enjoying a warm and wonderful fall day.  I wanted to share a card I created for my step Mom who is turning 96 next week. She is strong and healthy in body and mind.

She used to be an avid Gardner and the love of her life, my Dad, actually loves crows!.... I know it, LOL go figure.  I can't say why he does but my dad has a small crow collection.  She calls him her "old crow".  I know they will both get a kick out of this card.



I'm having a blast with my sister and niece! I will have to share some of the watercolor paintings we are doing later in the week.

What are you doing this week? I hope what ever it is - you are happy doing it!! : ) BIG thanks for stopping by!! Have a wonderful day.

BIG (((hugs)))



Supplies:
Autumn Splendor #30-372 by Penny Black

Sentiment a from Papertrey Ink mini stamp set called Birthday Classics: November mini.  I have been unsuccessful in finding a link for this set.  I suspect is is now discontinued.

This looks like the perfect card for her Patti, she'll love it! 96, wow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes to your step mom! It's cute that your dad likes crows and has a collection. A crow sound was one of the first 'animal' sounds Sweet P made. She would come toddling up the steps in the morning pointing to the crows in the air squealing Caw Caw!!

I think they will love this card and I sure know I do. The colors are perfect. I am glad you are enjoying the visit. I am doing a few last minute cards and then it is cleaning mode for me. Cleaning has never been a fun thing for me. Haha!

The young 96 year old is going to love this fellow! Crows are known for being very clever and smart. You are a gifted colorist (is that a word?)

It's so special when you can personalize a card with an image that speaks to the recipient like this wonderfully colored scarecrow, Patti.
