Happy Days...this card has been chose as a
SPLITCOASTSTAMPERS FAVORITE OF THE WEEK
ENDING OCTOBER 16, 2016
My nephew, Landon, is having a birthday on October 8th. Hmm. . .where have you heard that date before??? This is card number fourth and final card to make for my October 8th birthdays! Since Landon is now a teen-ager, I have to change my mojo from boyhood-type cards to teens. He is the first of my side of the family to have a teen-ager.
Since I know from my two boys, who are now men in the 30s and 40s, video games are still the thing; therefore, I thought I would try out my newly purchased My Favorite Things Game Controller dies and coordinating stamps. Funny that I just purchased them a few months ago, and then they put them into a retiring sale. . .of course, after I purchased them.
I have some video game, techie-type paper that I thought I'd use for Landon's card. Though it seems some of this paper is a bit dated (there's even some Space Invaders style), I was able to find a few pieces that are more generic and not specific to a particular game, This was especially important as he lives so far away, thus I have no idea what games he's interested in or what he actually plays. My card is bright and cheerful and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Take a look below and the finished card inside and out. I think Landon will be pleased with his one-of-a-kind card made by his Auntie!
