Saturday was my son, Sam’s birthday.  He lives in Tennessee and we were at his house for his birthday.  Only one thing was missing.  Sam.  He had a conference and we were there to take care of Madelyn and Nolan while he was gone.  We had a great time with the grands even though Sam was not there.  We celebrated without him. As you can expect, pictures will be posted soon!

I made this birthday card using the stamp set called Geared Up Garage. It has matching dies called Garage Gears and you can save 10% by purchasing them in a Bundle.   As you know, it is one of my favorite sets in the Stampin’ Up!® 2019 Occasions Catalog.  It is funny.  A friend mentioned something about not getting this set because it was too vintage for them.  I never thought of it as being vintage until she mentioned it.  I guess that means it is a perfect set for everyone and it makes great masculine cards.

The colors I used for this card are Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover (in honor of St. Patrick’s Day) and Whisper White.  I cut out two sets of dies and then layered them together underneath the sentiment strip.

Happy birthday, Sam.  You are an amazing young man and Dad and I are very proud of you! Maybe next year we can really be together!
