Oldie But A Goodie Challenge - School's Out

Good morning everyone.

This is my last card as GDT for Oldie but a Goodie.  Thanks for having me :0)

The theme is School's Out, so I made a thank you card for my son to use on his last day.  We will probably make a cute little bracelet to go with it.

Remember that something on your card has to be 6 months old.  My pearl gems, card and paper are 6 months old.

Here is my card....


Well I showed this card to my son and told him I made this for his teacher and he was horrified.  He said he can't give this because it's got a flower on it lmao!!  I explained his teacher is female so she would love the flower.  He just wasn't buying into that, so I will print out a cool Kenny K image for him to make his own card (no flowers!).  He's only not long turned 8 and wants to look cool and to him this card is not cool - it's so funny really.  I wasn't expecting all this until he was 10!

This cute little image is from Crafty Sentiments and the papers are a mix of Echo Park 12 x 12 and Papermania 12 x 12.

I punched my butterflies and added pearl gems to the centre of them and the flower.  The sentiment is computer generated.

    What a great card and I'm not surprised Brandon had an opinion, my two would NEVER take anything remotely girlie for their teachers to the point that one year we sent thank you cards featuring our combine harvester!! It's been loving having you join us as GDT at OBAG, hope you will play along xx
