Combining the two challenges for today, I made a simple one layer card. I usually don't have a need for a "belated" card since I have b'day, anniversary cards ready a month ahead. Several years ago, I set up a binder that was a project from an old Martha Stewart show with sheets listing important "to remember" dates and pockets for every month. The system works very well for me.
Jen's CAS challenge was a belated birthday card. Joan Ervin's challenge for the TLC was to stamp the sentiment on top of our main image. I was using clear stamps so I was able to make the drooping candle by just bending the candle image when I mounted it on the acrylic block......one nice advantage of clear stamps, sometimes you can play with them a bit.

Good for you for being so organized. You have inspired me. I know what you mean about bending the acrylic stamps. I did that to the stem in my card.
