Today's WT474 was Got Wind? I decided to go with a seaside image where there is always a wonderful breeze blowing.
I love this image. Makes me remember the days when my DH, Son and I went to Gulf Shores when he was 10 years old. Seems just like yesterday, yet it was 16 years ago. His birthday is this Sunday, and while I already had a card made for him - I think I will give him this one too :-)
Thanks for taking a closer look - hope you like it !

This image is fantastic and tugs at the old heart strings! Your copic coloring is as wonderful as your designs and layouts always are! You put your heart in this one, Barb, and it shows!

Oh - I think you should definitely give him this too with a note inside about the memories behind it! It's a lovely card - and I've seen several of the summer/seaside/sketches stamps in the gallery so obviously several people had the same train of thought about soft sea breezes.

As always, your coloring, choice of colors and layout are spot on. However, it was the image that caught my attention. As the mother of sons who are graduating high school (one in June and one next year) this image gave me a lump in my throat. Then when I read your description I got tears in my eyes. What a fantastic card for your son on his B-day. What a beautiful and emotion packed card.
