HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY SWEET P!!!!

One of my first "church lady" cards...
image is a magnet to be removed from card.
Sorry I didn't get anything posted yesterday... I was doin' so good there for a few days anyway... guess I'm not gonna put that kinda pressure on myself (to post every day)... maybe 4-5 times a week... think I can handle that... we'll see...
This card has a removable magnet on the front... the image is one by Emerson and he's done quite a few with this "church lady" as I call her... I have four now I think... this was the first one I got... it says "Listen Honey... God didn't promise it would be easy... He just promised it would be worth it."
I stamped the image, colored it with markers and then ran it through my Zyron machine that normally would coat the back with sticky... however, I accidentally bought the wrong refill in Michael's while in a rush one day and found out when I got home that it was magnetic material... it's SO COOL because it laminates the image and puts the magnet material on the back -- all at once!
After laminating it, I glued a crystal-like flower shape over the flower on her hat and used crystal effects on her coffee mug....
The four "church lady" images that I have all start with "Listen Honey"... I just think they're a hoot... kinda like Hallmark's Maxine but perhaps a little more "reverent"... ; )
My good friend Paola (in BC Canada) also likes these images and I hope to get one of the magnets in the mail to her... TODAY (tomorrow-Wednesday) is her 60th birthday!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET P!!! Sent her a big box of goodies (including some of my famous oatmeal choc chip w/dates, nuts, and coconut, and Vanilla and Orange Baking Emulsion... they are soooooooooooooo good... of course, they may be reduced to crumbs by the time they get to her... ; )
Paola... I'm so glad we found one another... BTW... discovered another thing we have in common while looking at your pics... RVing!!!!   We have a small (older) class C motorhome... so maybe we meet somewhere half way in the future? LOL...HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY GIRLFRIEND!
