It’s not unusual for me to have difficulty posting during the holiday. Now that I’m at Sarah’s for awhilem I’ll have time to do a little catch-up. Today is both Hannah and Caleb’s birthdays. We’re waiting for friends to arrive for cake and ice cream, so there are no blowing out the candle photos. It’s been a good day. Sarah makes these incredible scavenger hunts for both kids so finding the gifts takes some time and effort–but it’s alway fun!
I made Hannah’s card (one of two) for a challenge in May, and knew I’d want to save it for Hannah. I posted it here.
Caleb turned 13 today, so it’s a bit harder to know what kind of card might be appropriate. I made all five grandchildren the same Christmas card (the post is coming tomorrow.) It was definitely a card appreciated by the three girls in Rochester. Even the 13 year old there thought it was great. Much to my surprise, Caleb’s ended up on his dresser, so I guess it was OK from his point of view, as well.
I went for a graphic card for his birthday with a positive message. He hasn’t had the easiest of years.
With the exception of the stitched banner die (Simon Says), all the stamps and dies are from older Papertrey Ink: We Go Together, Hello Sunshine, and To the Point.
I’m sending this off to AAA Birthday Challenge: Lovely Layers, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Use Dies.
I think it is great for a new teen boy. And I’m sure he appreciates the time and trouble taken, either way. Sorry to hear he’s had a few trials and hope things are on the up-and-up now. Enjoy the birthday celebrations, and the start of 2025 too!
Karen you are such a super Grandmother – always going the extra for the Grandkids. What a wonderful compliment Caleb gave with keeping his card on his dresser. Happy belated wishes to both Caleb & Hannah.
This looks a perfect birthday card for a 13 year old boy.
Cool! Very stylish card! Thank you for joining the AAA Birthday Challenge – DT Pioniya
