100th Birthday

I was asked to make two 100th birthday cards recently, both for the same man.  As he was originally from Kilkeel, the cards were to have photos of the harbour and the Silent Valley on them.  The harbour photos were not very sharp if you tried to enlarge them, so I decided to have two small ones and used a sizzlets die to make an anchor, to tie in with the nautical theme.  The 'happy birthday' was also a sizzix die and the 100 was die cut using quick kutz dies.  The second card was a little bit smaller and so I just used one photo, a circular happy birthday stamp and a couple of buttons from SU.  I forgot to take a photo until after I had sealed it up in the cello bag - so the quality is even worse than usual!
