90th Birthday

 HI Everyone, a post from me that isn't scheduled, at last. This card was for my Brother in law, who has dementia, Bless him, he asked who was 90! It was the first card he opened. Anyhow, quite a simple card, I used a wonderful "cut" and free alphabet and numbers. I printed the sentiment out onto card, then die cut it. I attached it to a die cut holographic gold card. I cut the numbers out with my Silhouette and placed them onto the printed sentiment layer. Using the off cuts, I added them to the sentiment. The card is 8x8. I was pleased with the outcome. He was too.

Hi Faithie, hope you had a lovely Easter. Oh, those are fun numbers and made a great CAS card for your brother. I quite like the idea of forgetting my age, too. So glad he was pleased and I'm sure you had a good visit. XOX, Aimes

Fabulous card for your BIL, Faith. Dementia is so sad, but I'm sure he loved receiving your card even if he doesn't know how many years he has.

What a special card for your 90 year old brother in law. I love the gold numbers with the party elements. Hopefully he will realize it's a special birthday for him in the midst of his dementia. Turning 90 is quite special for anyone and not all of us will be able to enjoy that!

Dementia is a terrible illness my mother has it and my dad had Alzheimer's. The card is fabulous beautifully blingy and worthy of such a grand number.

This is gorgeous Faith, sorry to hear about your B.I.L., my poor dad didn't even know me in the end. He got round not knowing people by calling everyone dear, even the men!!!
