Carded!

For my son's birthday this year I

decided to make a card for each

year of his life. I've had great fun

doing it and each card gave me

inspiration for the next one. This

is one of them where I took something

I had in my boxes of collage material

and wrapped it around the cardstock.

Then I put the personal message on

top and inside is a statement of his

purpose as he told it to me. I am also

leaving that untold as that is up to him

to spread around the internet!

I have used gold and silver inks,

photos of my Dad's, collage pieces of

watercolor paintings that my Mom did

and cut up for later use. Now that they

are no longer here, I have used bits and

pieces of the creative work of their lives

to send on to their grandson, my dear son.

Maybe he'll consider this post as yet another

card of sorts!
