today is my son's birthday! he's turning the wonderfully amazing age of 2! and of course i had to make him a card!
here's a little back story, my husband's name is Joshua. when we first started dating (we were 16 & 18 - so young!), my friends and i would sing, 'joshua giraffe' (when he wasn't around of course --> please see the afore mentioned age, nuff said), and one thing led to another, and hello giraffe stuffed animals for birthdays, etc. fast forward to present day, my son has a little giraffe taggie that he sleeps with. badda-bing, badda-boom and TMI later: giraffe on his birthday card!
i also wanted to enter this card in the very first challenge over at photo-synthesis! the color inspiration was too beautiful to pass up - black, white and yellow! love it! you should definately check it out!
i used a giraffe chipboard i found at joann's, layered some sparkly yellow ribbon over some more muted (and frayed) cardstock.
if you want to see another adorable birthday card for my birthday boy (and who wouldn't, really?), go over and see danielle at girlracer scrap's card that she made! i'm in love with it!
enjoy!
Cute card. Enjoyed your story about the giraffe too. It reminded me that I used to call my youngest daughter "my little giraffe" because of a couple of birth mark spots on her little legs. :) Thanks for joining us at Photo-Synthesis. Come play with us again soon.
