Minnesota, United States
I am retired and loving it. I have a wonderful husband of 55 years. We have 3 awesome children, 7 fabulous grandchildren and 8 incredibly precious great-grandchildren. I enjoy reading, walking, biking, card making, tatting, X stitching and quilling. My winters in Minnesota are spent mostly indoors while in the summer my husband and I spend quality time on our Harley enjoying the beautiful scenery in our area. I hate to cook, love anything sweet and have mixed feelings about exercising.

Twins Birthday Cards

I made these cards for my great-granddaughter's 1st birthday.  It is a tradition in my family to always include an X & O someplace on a birthday card.  I thought my X & O banners were a clever way to include them in these.

    Oh my gosh, I can't believe they are one already!!! These are so stinkin' CUTE!!! I have that sweet digi image, and I didn't know you could flip it over. What a great idea. I love your background papers and your coloring is spot on. These just make me smile, as I'm sure your sweet great granddaughters do for you!!!

      Ps..I just noticed the MjM on the flipped image is backward. I will need to remember that in the future. :-)
