Today is my oldest son's birthday, and he does ROCK! And, in his Jeep, he is soon making tracks for Wyoming. I am so proud of my son and all he has come thru.
The background sky was made by sponging Going Gray over a torn paper towel . Using two colors of brown, I tore the edges and adhered with mono before cutting shape in an oval nestie to form the high desert look. I love this HD designer paper, and especially the reference to Wyoming- our soon to be home town.
Happy Birthday Chris! LYMI
Thanks for looking!

I like this very masculine card! That 4x4 jeep and the bg you made make me think of Rock Crawlin'. I like the little jeep embellishment and your high desert bg! Look at all that open sky...
What a joy for you, your new grandson's birthday is about the same as your oldest son.
So I take it you're getting out of Ca; good for you!
