Happy Birthday for grandson

Sorry I haven't posted in so long but have been dealing with family sickness, both my dad and youngest brother have been in the hospital (my dad still is).

Anyway, this is a card I made for my grandson's 15th birthday this month.  I copied a card on Mary Fish's blog http://www.stampinpretty.com/2010/12/page/2/   I used the same papers (SU Elegant Soree DSP, Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze and Basic Gray CS)  and layout but changed the sentiment panel.  I punched the circles with different sized punches)  Mary has a lot of beautiful cards on her blog and some wonderful inspiration so check it out.

Hope you all had a wonderful and Blessed Christmas. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.

The designer paper is from the Jolly Holiday pack and the bottom corners are punched witht the Ticket Corner punch.   The stamped sentiment is from Welcome Christmas set stamped on Very Vanilla CS and matted with Cherry Cobler CS.  The ribbon is Old Olive 5/8' grosgrain and an Antique Brad on the bow.
