My little brother turned 8 last week! He's really into dinosaurs, bugs, and animals, but since I'm limited to the images I have stashed away, a regular birthday image had to do. He asked to go fishing and for a large hammerhead shark toy, lol. I ended up giving him a gift card to Toys R Us and we can keep our eyes open for this shark toy in the future. :)
I wanted to use some of my newer Basic Grey paper, so I picked out pieces of the Prism paper pack that didn't look girlie. I'm really into aqua this year and I love lime green, so this combo came together really nicely for me. I miss not having my sewing machine and all my craft stuff!
For Michael's birthday, we had a barbecue at my parent's house. It's been hot here in Portland, so we mostly stayed in-doors and stayed in the air conditioning! Anna also got the kids a piñata and they had a lot of fun with that.
I also used
Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #272 on this card. I flipped it horizontal to fit Oliver in there!
They let Michael pick any image he wanted to have on his cake. This crazy boy picked a spider! Of all things to put on a cake! (
It was kinda creepy looking, lol,) But my SIL said it was fitting since spiders have 8 legs and he turned 8 this year.
Well, I hope you all have a great Thursday! We having swimming lessons today for Boston and we hope you all have a great holiday weekend as well! We don't any big plans this year, but will enjoy the holiday at home!
Such a fun card! Love the colors!
