Happy Birthday!


Hi, there friends!  Are you ready for a sock hop?  I hope my brother-in-law is when he receives this birthday card I made for him, lol!  Oh, the memories for him with classic cars and a few sock hops, too, I'm sure!  I always try to make him a card with a car on it and I add his name on the front of the car.  My brother-in-law still enjoy going to car shows looking at all the cars.  He has restored a few cars over the years and his son, Dean, enjoys the hobby, too.  I remember enjoying a ride in the Model T car Don had many years ago.  I colored all the images with copics.  This fun set is from Sunny Studio. I'm entering this card over at Word Art Wednesday



Here is a peek of the inside of the card...



A few weeks ago, I said that I needed to clean and organize my craft room.  Well, I'm happy to say that I got a lot done.  I still have some things to do, but it's great to have things organized.  I have to admit that I'm a paper hoarder!  How did I get this problem, lol!  Anyways, this craft hobby has brought me lots of joy and I've met the sweetest best people!  And, having said that I thank you so much for all your support and your sweet comments that you always give to me by coming to my blog!  Take good care and enjoy your day!!

Hugs!

  1. Hi Maria,
    I can just feel your enthusiasm for this hobby! My first time visiting your blog but I'm sure it won't be my last. This card is fabulous! Guy cards are hard but this one is a winner! I think I have this set but you've made your card unique by adding the cool cat and juke box. Love your creativity!

  3. This is the most fun card! I love the jukebox and car and it does make me happy. Don will love this. I want to dance and have a chocolate soda right now. Good for you finishing your organization. I like to organize too but I can never find anything if I move it!

  4. This is such a cute and fun card - if not perfect for someone who enjoys going to car shows! It reminds me of my husband and I who always did the same thing until walking became too difficult! Thanks for the memories - we truly lived in the best of times with muscle cars, sock hops, and cruisin'! I know your brother loved this card as much as I do :)

  9. This is such a fun card for a car lover! Love the retro vibe to this. My dad had a similar red car back in the day, and that's his name, too. I'm sure your bio is going to really enjoy this!

  10. This card is the cat's meow! (Sorry, couldn't resist the pun - especially since it really is terrific.) Such a fun, cheerful design.

    And brava on cleaning / organizing your craft space. I’m dreading having to do that once we are able to move back in. 😬
