80 years young

We have just spent a few days in the Everglades which has been truly amazing. The weather has been hot and despite 'heavy' duty insect repellent both Joe and I have a few insect bites which are a very very itchy!!!! We spent a morning manatee watching on Tuesday on which we saw loads of wildlife blue heron, alligators, Ibis, mullet, oysters growing on the mangrove roots, tri coloured heron and many more - pics will be posted once I've down loaded them.

A few weeks ago I was asked to make a 80th birthday card using Autumnal colours and this is what I came up with using a retired hostess stamp set from Stampin' Up!®

Love this stamp set as it is sooooooo versitile

You've been having fun Lesley! Looking forward to your photos - loved the bonfire night one. I bet your card went down really well - those flowers look gorgeous in those colours. Thank you for your kind wishes and have a lovely weekend. Vx
