16 Really?!?

Happy 16th Birthday Philip! I can't believe that my oldest is turning 16 today?!?! I swear it was just yesterday I was taking him home from the hospital. Now he's learning to drive and I have to look up to yell at him. When did all this happen?

I thought since it was his 16th Birthday I would make him a super cool card! This one sure is and maybe a bit over the top! Of course since he's 16 nothing's cool or at least admitting it especially to his Mom. I used the skeleton from Pieces of Poison since he likes skulls almost as much as I do. I stamped the birthday saying into several layers of the pewter ep to get the metal tag effect and I made the tags with old pewter hodgepodge hardware I have had stashed. I really like how it came together especially with using the silver glitter paper. Happy Stamping!!

ETA: My son loved his card said it was BA which in teenager speak means it was pretty cool. He was excited to have a skeleton on his card but thought the birthday was awesome!

Great card! I, too, have to look up to yell at some of my students (not that I yell a lot), but it is disturbing how they grow overnight.

Love this Carmen!!! That faux metal with the pewter EP ROCKS!!! If he doesn't think it's cool, you can send it to me because I think it is awesome.

P.S. You are not old enough to have a 16 year old son. Happy Birthday to Philip!
