Happy 18th Birthday

I can't believe that April whooshed by!  The end of the school year is always so busy around here, and now we're putting plans together for Vacation Bible School for the summer.  It's all good stuff, but it really takes me away from the blog.

Here's a masculine birthday card I made for my nephew:

I splattered DI Cracked Pistachio, Chipped Sapphire, and Faded Jeans on a Paper Studios card base. The circles are a Silhouette cut file in blue and green from my scrap papers.  The "birthday" is from SSS, cut four times and glued together.  The "happy" is from PTI's Stylish Sentiments: Birthday.

That's all I have today!  I will hopefully be back soon with some Mother's Day and graduation cards.  I also hope to be around visiting too!

Thanks so much for coming over to visit.  I hope you are having a great day!

Kara Lynne

    This is a great design for your nephew, Kara! He will love it. You know, if you turned it upside down, I think it would work in the Happy Little Stampers May sketch challenge! Enjoy the springtime!! Hugs, Darnell

    I know what you mean about how busy it gets at the end of the school year, mine is the same! Love your card - the colors and splatter are perfect, and I love that Sil file - do you remember which one it is? Have fun making your summer plans and hang in there, it'll all settle down soon. :)

    Good to see you back Kara and I love this very stylish card! Masculine cards are often quite dark and I love that you made this bright and colourful.

    Perfect masculine card, KaraLynne! No, I don't need a Silhouette, no-I don't need a Silhouette, and NO I don't need a Silhouette. I have to keep telling myself this to refrain. : )
