50th Birthday

A dear friend if mine will be 50 this week... on Thursday to be precise and I made this card for her. 
Her husband also asked me to make her a card... his pet name for her is Rade a diminution of Radiance. He wanted this, plus a reference to the fact that she loves shoes and is somewhat of a shopoholic. 
I didn't get the shopping bit in but I did manage the reference to shoes.
We will be having lunch together with another friend on Thursday... should be fun. I hope she has a great day!

Hi Chrissie, great ideas and great cards and great inspirations. Love them.

Thanks for all your comments and sorry for my late commenting, but business is eating me up at the moment. So time is rare for crafting and commenting is getting lost, sorry!
