A 60th Birthday card for an 'Ole friend and neighbor. Bob has quite the sense of humor, so I made a fun card using the photo and "At Sixty" from his computer designed invitation. Of course I had to do quite a lot of distressing for a 60th birthday. Love how the Wild Asparagus DP and SU paper go together so well. I also stamped the DP with Lovely as a Tree, since Bob is a farmer and sustainable logger of his own 100's of acre's. His big party is this weekend. Can't wait to give Bob his very personalized card. He will love it :-) TFL

Oh what a neat card, I love the destressed look and the papers you used, also the little picture. What a great way to personalize a card. Great layout too, I am sure he will love it,

Bob will get a kick out of his card, Nancy! It's nicely masculine--I like the trees stamped on the DP. Love his picture in the hardware. He'll think it's so cool that you made this for him and personalized it like this. A keepsake for his 60th birthday!

What a fun card! And what perfect use of the hardware! You can't get more personalized than a photo and throwing in his occupation/avocation. Hope he enjoyed receiving it as much as you enjoyed making it for him.
