Not Old. Classic.
I finally paper crafted a bit this summer after many years of not doing it. This was made for a dear friend who turned 60 this month. The image is actually a sticker that I got on Ali Express, so it was simple to put together. Now that I figured out how to get back into this blog (haha), I may post a few more things later on. I hope you all are having a great day!!
