Let´s Celebrate

Ooh am I an Old Age Pensioner today? I think not because I won´t get my pension until July with the revised retirement age. Aha but I am lucky as I fall just a month behind the new official guidelines so not liable to work to the age of 65 ... thank goodness I left the rat race almost 17 years ago.
Today is also very special to me as my grandson Ryan celebrates his 17th birthday and will be able to get his Provissional Licence (is it still called that?) then get behind the wheel of a car and drive his parents nuts no doubt, mind you it won´t make much to difference to his mum as she is nuts already as I am sure half of you already know rofl - chip off the old block???
Happy Birthday Ryan, you light up our lives. -x-

Anyhoo now onto the challenges for today,

Die Cut Dreams have set the theme of a

Celebration card which must have a number on it ... this challenge is in honour of my Birthday and I am so honoured to work alongside such a fantastic DT, thank you girls you light up my life too.




Now can you tell me which 17 year old lad would appreciate a hand coloured card ? I have taken the easy option and used a pre-coloured image from the Mikey Collection available from Charmed Cards & Crafts , papers are "For Him" from Papermania, corner dies are Double Do, numbers are Sissix, a trio of card candy and my gorgeous new label dies which took an age to find in stock anywhere.

I am combining this card with Crafty Catz - The boyz are back and The Crafty Pad - Make a card for any male, father, husband, brother, uncle, son etc

This week´s theme at Sweet Pea Stampers we would like to see

A Sprinkling of Fairy Dust

so come on girls and glitter yourselves silly

I have inked up ching chou kuik´s "Full Moon" for the first time and she is available from Sweet Pea Stamps, coloured her with my Copics and used H20´s for the background. I treat myself to both new releases at Bearly Mine Designs this weekend and what a snip they are. This paper is from the Stripes Collection, corners are Double Do´s, Martha Stewart punch, ribbon and gems from stash, leaves are a sizzlet die and flowers and pearl sprays are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I wish to combine this card with
