I needed to 'whip' up a quick card for my g/f who's celebrating her 40th this week. I use the term 'whip' very loosley since it's now 6:45 pm and I started at 4:00pm this afternoon. I spent most of the time looking for just the right image to use on the card front. The actual card took a mere 30 minutes. As a project manager, I should know that planning accounts for at least 75% of the overall time. I just wish I could become more efficient at it LOL
Anyways . . . here's what I came up with. I totally love Maxine!

what's not to love about Maxine, she can say just what she thinks for us!!! I like how you laid our this card and the BG is perfect, grey and just a bit scratchy!
