Arthur's 18th

I have several 'grown up' Nephew and Neices and Arthur is now one of them having just turned 18. WE all got together for a family lunch (thank you Catherine!) and had a fantastic time. I traditionally give 18 presents for an 18th birthday so it is lots of fun and it keeps me busy searching for fun and useful mini gifts (the 18th present is always money so the most useful of all!) I worked out that I will have a neice or nephew turning 18 every year for 5 years, whereas my oldest has to wait 7 years before she reaches the same age!

Anyway I downloaded this fab kit from Funkyhand that is aimed at making wedding cards/books. I was uninspired as to what kind of card to make my nephew and thought using the book idea as an 18 card should work! I changed the colour to black and white to make it more masculine (??) and printed the second set of numbers out so I could make them pop using foam squares. I used a few dark grey adhesive stones on the front and a metal embellishment inside and out..... I think it worked what do you think??? I am entering it for the Funkyhand challenge, to make a boys card hope they like it!!




Here is the birthday boy himself....


Happy Birthday Arthur!!!!
