TGIM. I’m not as chipper this morning as usual. I’ve had a headache since yesterday and I was awoken this morning (5:34 a.m. to be exact) by a woodpecker pounding on something metal right over my bedroom window. I must have a “Psychotic Birds Stop Here” sign on my house. Remember the Cardinal that followed me around last year…and the year before… pecking non-stop on my windows? (sigh) Anyway…
My nephew’s birthday was yesterday. I don’t have many stamps that work with a “teen boy” theme so this is what I came up with.
Let’s Party
I used several Kim Hughes sets to create my scene along with Cosmo’s Mr. Campy paper. I threw in a piece of Dutch Girl for the background. 
The bluish-green is a pretty close match to one of the dots on the paper but of course I covered all of them so you can’t tell.
We bought my nephew a book from his Amazon list but wanted to give him a little extra something so I created a pocket on the inside to hold some money. If I’d had more time, I would have added a brown matting to the pocket and a thin strip 
of brown paper across the top… like a teenage boy even cares…but I do. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you’ll come back tomorrow for the My Favorite Things blog hop at 10 p.m. (EST). We have some fun new releases to share! (And don’t forget to check out that Bubble Bin! Have a great day!
