Mom’s 70th Birthday

I mentioned previously that this year is filled with milestone birthdays. Mom just turned 70!

I worked hard to create a birthday card for her. It did not turn out as planned, but she appreciated my efforts!

I was so proud of myself for acquiring the ‘assets’ – the pictures to be used for the card. I created the card – front and back, set up the card with cut and fold marks (to show me where to cut and fold the paper after printing), and even exported the file into a pdf, so I COULD print it.

Everything seemed to be going well, but when I cut on the cut lines, my card was much smaller than the envelope it was going into! (and I cut off the fold marks!) I don’t have a ‘creasing tool’, to crease the paper where it should be folded, so I folded as best I could. 🙂

Next time I will fold before cutting the fold lines off. (and I’ve even ordered a little scoring tool to help with this process!)

I did get it in the mail and it showed up right on time!
