This Friday a good friend turns 50. His wife is throwing him a party. This is the card I made for him. On the inside it simply says, “You’re old.” Got the layout from today’s Sketch Challenge over on Splitcoaststampers.
He is an avid reader so tomorrow I’m off to the bookstore to find him some sort of old age survival manual. Really. What are friends for? heheh

heh heh, I just spotted this in the gallery at SCS and commented that I’d love to see the inside sentiment…….and I found it here! LOL This is so perfect for a milestone birthday! I LOVE it!! It’s sure to bring many laughs and comments!! The details are incredible!!
Too funny! Great card! You’re a good friend 😉
This is a hoot! I thought I was really old when I reached fifty, now I only wish…. Great card Susan!! It definitely will bring a smile.
This is too fun. I thought it was for a teen at first.. So maybe he will too and think you are being sweet. LOL Good luck with the book find, that will be a hoot!
This is perfect for a monumental birthday. I love the colors you chose. This image is a fun one. Super job..
Great card, love the colour combination… a bit of black humour, but I am sure, you know your friend and your friend will like it and enjoy the card.
Great “old” card, Susan! My hubby will be turning the big 5-0 soon, but I hadn’t given any thought to what type of card I’d be making…not too big on the skull thing, but you may be onto something with the cob web. lol And your, ahem, thoughtful, addition of the book will surely be the nail in his coffin. 😉 Will the guest of honor be wearing a mummy costume? lol tfs
Love, love, love this! What a cool card!
Great card, Susan! I love the texture to it!
Hee,hee…from someone who will be 60 (!) eeeee, did I just say that???!!! Sorry, I just passed out for a few minutes.
this is one wickedly wonderful card.
He’s sure to remember it forever! Perfect.
that’s so creative.. how crafty of you. Say Happy B’day to that old buzzard for me!! And then tell him he’s catching up.
Oh you are tooooo funny gir! I’m sure glad I didn’t tell you MY birthday was yesterday (and a few more than 50) … otherwise I’d be receivinga goolish card like this too! LOL!!
Seriously, this is awesome Susan and PERFECT for a guy!!! He’s going to crack up when he opens your present!
Have a great weekend … I’m off to Shipshewana today (I’ll miss you!!).
that is too funny and cool, great gift idea too!!
This is fantastic, Susan…and too funny at the same time! Good luck finding the manual…lol!
What a great idea for a 50th birthday card! I love the web background!!!!
Too funny! I LOVE this whole concept! My cousin’s husband’s 50th is the end of the month – I may have to steal this idea…
OMG — this is wickedly wonderful!!! What a fab 50 card!!!!!
