I made this for my oldest son's birthday. Adam will be 23 tomorrow, and what an early Mother's Day present for me....he's coming home! He is in college and has a job and hardly ever gets to come home anymore. I am so happy that we will get to be with him on his birthday!
I am also happy that the challenge today allowed us to use the crimper...I needed a masculine card, so obviously, ruffles wouldn't work. I crimped the panel under the shells, and colored the images with watercolor pencils and an aqua painter.
All three of my boys always liked collecting shells when we went to the beach, so I hope he will like it. I hope you do, too. TFL!

What a beautiful seashell scene you've created!!! Love the crimped paper beneath your shells. Reminds me of seashell hunting with my grandpa---fond memories!
I'm so happy for you that your son is coming home, but might I add that you don't look old enough to have a 23 year old son!
