Hey there! Today a special man from my church has a milestone birthday. Mr. William Ligon is turning 98 today!

"Bill" has faithfully attended our church for many, many years. His wife, Bea, passed away several years ago, but Bill has continued to attend every morning service!

Here's a little bio from our Ina Free Will Baptist Facebook page:

An honored WWII veteran, Bill was born on June 5, 1917, and has lived his lifetime in and around Ina where he (and his beloved wife Bea) raised two sons, served on school boards, and the Ina Village Board. A retired coal miner, he was one of the A Team that labored in the 1980's to add a fellowship hall and classrooms to our church.

Since every birthday is a milestone, I decided to use a stamp from "Oh My Goodies":

 I created TWO cards, one portrait and one landscape, to show you how easy it is to achieve a fresh look.

I stamped  "happy upteenth birthday" three times, once in Cucumber Crush and twice in Pacific Point. I hand-cut with my Paper Snips the two center pieces so they could be paper-pieced:

Inside and envelope are stamped with Big News:
