It’s been awhile since I’ve posted! With the new format here in WordPress and me being extremely non-techy, well let’s just say its been hard for this old dog to learn any new tricks! (Took me so long just to figure out how to upload a photo.) 
But let’s give it a try. 
This is a silly card for that friend in your life who has celebrated several 49th birthdays. I have a few of those dear friends myself!!
This second card is just a quick and easy somewhat masculine card.
The word squares are popped up to give it a little interest and dimension.

Great cards, looks like your tech problems are solved lol! The zebra is beautifully coloured and that sentiment is a hoot! Love the cake day CAS card too. Thankyou for playing along at Watercooler Wednesday, Cathy x
Cute cards!! I love the popped up “cake day” design!
Susan, these are both fabulous! I know a few friends that have celebrated a couple extra 49th birthdays myself. So good to see you posting again.
I know what you mean they need to quit changing things on us š
Glad to see you got it all figured out.
Love the first card, too funny, and neat layout.
Great masculine card on the second, like the offset squares and your neat embellishment on your ribbon!
Great cards and the zebra one sentiment made me smile. Thanks for the sweet comment. Vee xx
Two wonderful cards. I must remember that sentiment for those wishing to age slowly lol!
