Sweet 16

Last week DS turned 16! He had a lovely day and we took him for his first beer (and before you all start to think that we are bad parents - it is legal here for 16 year olds to have a beer!!)

As you know from previous posts, DS is a brand slave. His favourite brand for now is Converse.

Using the Converse logo as a starting point, this is what I came up with for his card.

It is a swing card, shaped around the beer bottle - I added the 16 to the middle of the logo. The "cheers!" was cut with my Sizzix Alphabet (Night & Day). It was a winner with DS.

Birthday Boy!

Yesterday, my DS turned 15! In typical teenage fashion he is "addicted" to brands - anything that has a brand name/logo on it and according to my darling teenager, it must be ok. He had a great birthday, despite still having to go to school (shame) and a great birthday meal - a traditional roast with all the trimmings - his favourite. It would have been nice to go out for a meal but DS has a severe nut allergy so we played it safe and stayed at home.



As was expected, I made two cards for the birthday boy:-



The one on the left is a swing card, complete with the logo of current favourite shoes (for now!)




This afternoon has been spent making thank you cards for DS to send - photo to follow.

Have a nice weekend!
