Not Older, Just Better


Hi bloggers!  It's another sentiment designed to go with the new Celebrations collection; Not Older, Just Better.  I love this one as it is the perfect way to say Happy Birthday to someone that is older and still be sensitive about their age (I know it bothers some people!)  It is nicely readable, but has a lovely combination of fonts so it is stylish and modern as well.  If this one appeals to you, don't forget to leave your comment on this post.  If you are new to the blog and do not know how it is done, there are full directions on the right hand side of the blog that are easy to follow  make it quite easy to do.  I will be back with the third post of the day at 3pm.  Hope you can join us then! All for now, Sue x

    Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, well what can I say, I think we can all relate to this sentiment, brilliant, must add to my list.......why don't I just purchase the whole collection, ha ha.

    I am also liking the background die and the balloons, perfect.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Hi Sue
    I love this sentiment, it’s on one of your stamp sets that I have, but please don’t enter me into the draw as I’ve already purchased it. Another fantastic card, love it

    Love and hugs to everyone

    Love every inch of this sample Sue - the background, balloons with delicate floating tails and the new sentiment which 'you know who' added to his 2nd roll of loo paper consisting of my 'needs' ! Dies that is. Maybe a sentiment that reads ... Another year older, Another ache' lol. Yes another winner from you Sue xxx

    Hi Sue,
    This is a sentiment all crafters NEED, I have a stamp like that, but it doesn't make the same impact as a die.
    Hugs

    Great sentiment and again a bit different - one die that should be in every die set or crafters stash as its so true. Want it...
