Happy Birthday Charlie


My son at the grand age of 8 decided that he wanted a grown up card and fell in love with the new Sail Away stamp from the Stampin' Up! Summer Mini 2011.  It's a fab stamp, but I don't want him to get too old too quickly so for his birthday today, I made this card and added a fun whale under the sea from Fox and Friends.  I've also used a treat cup to make a shaker card with some of the baja breeze glass glitter which is chunky and doesn't stick to everything like your face as dazzling diamonds so often does.  It's great for boys too! 
I'm delighted to say that he loved it. 

Happy Birthday Charlie

Busy with kids on Easter hols so must dash.

Hugs Zx

Happy Birthday Charlie, have a great day!

Zoe, your card is fabulous, no wonder he loved it. Love how you've kept it a little bit younger/fun for him, they do grow up too quickly as it is.

P.S. I have your e.mail about next date, will be in touch x
