Get Well, Dude

How do you make a get well card for a teenage boy? It can't be all flowery, and a sports-theme isn't appropriate in this case. He has a brain injury and has to take it easy for six months.

This was the best I could do, given the circumstances. The unusual color combination is actually one found in nature! I saw this picture of birds on Pinterest, and immediately thought "Pool Party, Cajun Craze, So Saffron", along with black and white.

I hope he likes it. I've never really met him face-to-face, but I know his mom from stamping. So that makes me practically an aunt, right?

Get well, Joshua!

Grunge Birthday

Today's card uses the guitar from Grunge Rock again, but this time for a teenage birthday. I think it would work for either a girl or boy, though the colors seem a bit more masculine.  Still on the mission to use up my way-too-large stash of designer paper!!!

Rockin' Someone's World

Here's a card that is sure to put a smile on the face of a service person's loved one back home.  I can just picture a guy or gal in fatigues choosing this one to send home to a special someone.....I sure hope they like it!  You might not be able to see it, but there are three tiny pearls on the guitar to represent knobs. Yes, I realize the knobs are usually below the strings, but they wouldn't have shown up in the swirly design. :)
