Today’s cards are a simple duo destined for my sisters (twins) who are celebrating a milestone (60th) birthday this week. They are easy to spot (left and right) in this family photo (approx. 1961). Yes, that’s “yours truly” in the middle, back when I was a natural blonde. My mom is in the middle and my oldest sister at the top. Several of the Stampin’ Up! On-Line Extravaganza sale items were used on today’s cards (as noted).
I used this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO268) as my foundation.
