Jenni's Crafty Journal: Big Birthday

Big Birthday

Yesterday was my son Owen's eighteenth birthday - a day he has been waiting for since he was about 12! He didn't want a fuss - no party, no paricular presents - all he wanted was to be 18. We have had him counting down the months, the weeks, the days and even the hours and at last the day finally arrived - what a happy young man he was yesterday :o)

So here is the card that I made for him

I'd like to enter it into the challenges at:

Papertake Weekly - Cut it out

Party Time Tuesday - 1image, 2 papers, 3 embellishments (Glittered frame, chipboard arrow, brad)

Kaboodle Doodles - Recipe

Inktegrity - Anything goes

Fab n Funky - Going with the flow
