Today is my youngest son Cameron's 13th Birthday... We have succumbed and arranged for him to have is very first mobile phone. This is a very big deal for myself and Andy because we have always said that we wouldn't give him one till he proved himself responsible enough to handle having it... As I said to him this morning... "With great power comes great responsibility." But over the last 12 months Cam has stepped up and shown us that he can be the person we have always hoped he would turn out to be. So here's to great power and responsibility ....And to here's hoping!
Anywhoo, this the card that I made him.... Lucky his birthday fell on Deconstructing Sketch Day and double lucky that I had an AMAZINGLY fun sketch to work with from our DT member Amy Sheffer!! {Not that your sketches aren't fun too Jen.... Cause they are.... Love you Jen!!}...
Cam actually chose this cute little guy from Tiddly Inks called "Geekatude" to go on his card. Just a tip... Geekatude doesn't have glasses normally. I drew them on because Cam wears them...LOL!
After I printed out the image on white cardstock, I then coloured the little dude in with my Prismacolor pencils. I then cut him out and using these gorgeous papers from Echo Park's For The Record 2 6x6 paper pad and Amy's sketch...
Came up with the above card! And look I even did the inside for him as well!!

You are my absolute favorite card maker! I just love this card!
Love this, Donna! And I love the occasion even more! We might be in your exact same situation for my son's birthday next year. His 12th birthday was two weeks ago. We've talked about a cell phone for his 13th, along with the same responsibility and maturity caveats as you. I'm super glad Cameron has earned it (and here's hoping my son will, too!) I will be CASEing this for sure!
Love it Donna. You know what, i think we have similar taste as we both used the same paper pad. I bet your son cherishes his card.
Donna, this is absolutely ADORABLE!! I love the darling image and papers. You totally ROCKED this sketch!!!
This is such a perfect card Donna! I love all the details and the fun fun fun papers you used. And I love the decorated inside! Gorgeous!
