Birthday Postcard

I have been slacking in the blog department.  I actually have been slacking in the entire crafting world.  I guess that is what the stress of selling and buying houses can do to a person.  But I did manage to do a little something today.

My mother-in-law's birthday is next week and we are seeing her this weekend, so I asked the boys what they would like to give her.  My seven year old replied that he thought a bottle of wine would be nice - I didn't think that was such a good idea.  So they came up with the idea to give her a coupon to redeem - something that they could all enjoy doing together.  And this is what I created:


I cannot take credit for doing anything but putting the pieces together.  I found the word art on Pinterest (but the link to the original site was not working, so I cannot give proper credit).  And the ribbons and background paper are freebies from Amy Teets.

I printed it on cardstock and gave it to the boys to personalize on the back.  Hopefully she likes what they came up with!
