This week our cards are going to wish a young man for a Happy 12th Birthday. Hunter is the older brother of Nate and Will, whom recently celebrated their 6th birthday. This family has been through a rough past year, with their Mom being diagnosed with intestinal cancer, treatment and then going into Gods arms less than a month ago. So here come the Teapotter's once again to bring some cheer to this family.
Hunter loves Harry Potter, for me this was a stretch. I've seen parts of some of the movies and haven't read the books. So I am only going by what I know, and what DH has told me.
I found the sorting hat online, enlarged it and cut it out. I made the glasses, (not bad I'd say), I just couldn't get the darned things squeaky clean. Acetate is hard to keep clean.
I know we are supposed to be seeing through Harry's eyes, but that's a pretty dark world, and our world is dark enough in reality. I did get a nice quote from one of the movies, there's some really good ones there, that fit with our real world.
This card is on it's way to Hunter, wishing him a wonderful Birthday and year ahead.

This is so creative, Jennifer, you'd think you were a die-hard fan, it's perfect (my niece is crazy about HP so I know a little bit!) Love your stars and the fabulous glasses!
