CAS(E) This Sketch GD! Who's Over the Hill?

Hello Stamplings!

Me again! I can't even remember the last time I had back-to-back posts, but one of my GD spots ran right into the back of another one and there you go. Double the honor, double the fun!

Today I'm super delighted to be Guest Designing for the ever-popular CAS(E) This Sketch!
Fun, isn't it? This big ol' sediment comes from a very old wooden stamp from My Sentiments Exactly. It's another old stamp I can't bear to part with, especially since, as I mentioned yesterday, most of my friends are "of a certain age" and they will appreciate the humor! If you are too young to get the reference, it's from an old timey saying that you were "over the hill" once you celebrated your 50th birthday and it was all downhill from then on.

That used to be true, but now it's no longer valid what with 50 being the new 40, 40 being the new 30, and so on. And that's how we end up feeling like we're only SIX! (Up in our heads, mind you, not in our bodies!)

And here is the CTS sketch that made me go very streamlined and masculine:
We are going Retro CTS this week. It looks deceptively simple, doesn't it? I love those sketches that make you think, "Oh, piece of cake!," but then you turn to your inner hamster who stares blankly back at you and you realize it's gonna be a challenging challenge after all! And that's what we want, so thank you, N@ Ali!

I can't wait to see your interpretations of the sketch! To see the incredible works of art from the Design Team, please visit CAS(E) This Sketch!

I have a real-quick twofer to share with you:
My sweet friend Linda of Lin's Craft Corner became the proud grandmother of TRIPLETS last week!!! This is the card I made for the new family! The miracle babies are a girl and twin boys and I'm so happy for all of them! May their blessings continue threefold throughout their lives!
