Today was my son Ben`s 18th birthday. I told you the other day how he has become more mature and a better brother to his sister, that doesn`t include posing in pictures with her though. Tonight there are 36 of his closest friends coming to celebrate his birthday at our house. All great kids that I have known for a long time but I would rather be heading to bed that chaperoning a party that I am not invited to.
The real reason for my post is to share my card for this week`s CA(E) this Sketch.
It seems like a long time since the last challenge so I was ready to tackle this weeks sketch.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: White, Hibiscus Burst
Stamps: Sending My Love (PTI) Wavy Designer Borders (Hero Arts)
