I made this for my oldest son's birthday. Adam will be 23 tomorrow, and what an early Mother's Day present for me....he's coming home! He is in college and has a job and hardly ever gets to come home anymore. I am so happy that we will get to be with him on his birthday!
I am also happy that the challenge today allowed us to use the crimper...I needed a masculine card, so obviously, ruffles wouldn't work. I crimped the panel under the shells, and colored the images with watercolor pencils and an aqua painter.
All three of my boys always liked collecting shells when we went to the beach, so I hope he will like it. I hope you do, too. TFL!

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

Gorgeous card Leisa! Love the colors, the background and your shells are beautiful. Great silver tag and I really like that raffia. You always know the perfect accents for your creations.
