Happy Birthday

Just a quick post to share with you my son's birthday card, I can't believe he is 9 today!!  How did my baby get to be 9!!

Anyway, he's growing up fast so I used Cool Kid by Kenny K which is now available from his store, but I downloaded as one of his monthly freebies a while ago


I also used the sketch from this weeks Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge, but kept it fairly simple, I just added some ribbon, and buttons and stamped the bunting that came free with Simply Homemade onto one of the papers, thankfully there are five flags, so his name fitted perfectly :-)


I coloured Cool Kid with copics and tried to keep the colours similar to what he likes wearing, although he hasn't got into an ipod yet, but will walk around playing on his DS if I let him!!  Still close enough!!  The sentiment is from the Sentimental Numbers set by Ladybug Crafts Ink, and I used Chipped Sapphire distress ink for the stamping

I had to do something with the inside too, nothing fancy, but it finishes it off and saves scraps being thrown away :-)  The sentiment is by PTI.  The scalloped die is by X cut, it's deeper than this but I figured that I might get away with the scallops but I would not get away with fancy florishes, so covered them up!!


I'd also like to enter this card into these challenges
Catered Crop Recipe Challenge - I've used Striped Papers; Copics; Printer; Ribbon; Die Cuts; Highlighting; Birthday and Shapes (triangles)

That's it from me for today except to say

Happy Birthday James!!!

Have a great day, thanks for stopping by
