Hi Everyone, would you believe it I am posting a "fresh" post, meaning not scheduled. Thank you all for your support and kind messages, things are so much better with my brother. I just need other things to go the same way and life will be much easier. I guess that's what a lot of people feel like.
It was my GNiece's 17th birthday and she was going to get her learner license and a driving lesson on her birthday, so I just had to do a card for her containing both.
I used the car die that I had used here and stamped a woman this time, onto to the acetate window. I searched the web for a map of the area she lives in and used that as a background. I computer generated the 17th birthday leaving a gap for the "L", which I fussy cut out. I cased the saying from the web and added 17 to make it relevant. The sentiment was stamped and cut with a die. Quite simple, but it took ages because of the map searching.
I hope to be able to do a post more regularly now. I have a few cards I have done for family birthdays, so that should keep me posting a few times and hopefully I will start making cards again soon.

Just catching up, sorry to hear your sad news. Some fab cards I have missed. This one is perfect for the age
It's fantastic, Faith! A lot of work but we'll worth it. 😊
A very cute card for a young lady getting her learner’ permit. I bet your great niece was so excited to be going for a drive on her birthday. So exciting.
Glad to hear your brother is coping a bit better, a hard road to travel for sure! Your GNiece's card is fabulous Faith! I love that you found a map of her area and used that as your background, cool idea and one I will have to keep in mind. The gal in the car is perfect as is the sentiment and inside of your card. Miss you, but totally understand the not posting often as I do it all the time! Will be here for when you can make cards more regularly. Big hugs, Brenda
