On January 12th my son will be 18! I can't believe he is going to be an adult in the eyes of the law, he will be able to vote the next time there is an election, he will now be responsible for being responsible. If you had asked me a year ago if Ben was ready to become an adult I would told you absolutely not! In a year I have seen him become more mature, a better brother to his sister, I see him do things and not expect anything in return, I see him care about the future and I see lots more of that wonderful smile. So using this week's masculine colourQ palette this is the birthday card that I made for him.
We hope that you come a play with us this week at the colourQ and while you are there make sure to visit the blogs of the rest of the Design Team to see their fabulous creations.
