Keeping tradition alive by screwing up a fold. Twice! I stuck with the second because in the end, it didn't really matter and I won't tell you what I did wrong. I thought about using this for the ABC14U-ugly paper, but I really like the paper, although prefer one side to the other. Traditional card with a non-traditional sentiment. Acting one's age....what does that even mean anymore??

You have me giggling, Jean. Sweet purple die-cut blooms and cute sentiment! My mom used to say that to us kids quite often. I guess we would act much younger than we should have been acting.....

Fun card. Love your colors and that is a great sentiment. I don't think "acting one's age" when we're older has the same meaning as it did for my parents and grandparents generation. I think it's a bit of a free-for-all for us and that makes me glad.

Well this is definitely not a boring card Jean and I love the papers so glad you didn’t put it against the ugly paper challenge. You are braver than me doing fold cards. I don’t even try. I’m lazy. I stuff up enough lol and age is just a number. TFS. Happy day and hugs

Bravo for attempting a folded card - I can’t even get that far! Your card is definitely not boring - to match the sentiment - it is a great collection of pretty papers.

I like your pairing of the wildflower die-cuts with the definitely beautiful paper. It looks like early Basic Grey. I think there's much less expectation of what is age-appropriate now, thankfully.

What a fun sentiment. It reminds me of another I've seen that says "I don't know how to act my age, I've never been this old before!" Nicely done, great job persisting!
