On Monday, Austin tested for his driver's license -- and got it!
I guess it's true: the third time is the charm. ;)
He was being all sneaky when he got back from his test --
he had his shoulders slumped and a sad look on his face
and I thought: "Oh no, I'm going to have to be supportive about this..."
But then when I got to the room where he was going over his test
with his evaluator, he looked at me and said: "So, I passed."
I was so relieved! LOL!
Here he is in the car as we (he) drove away from the test.
I wanted to make him a card to let him know how proud I am of him.
I used one of the Make It Monday: 2015 A la Carte Challenges:
along with my new Be Mine, Valentine stamp set:
I smooshed my background using orange zest and hawaiian shores ink.
When it was dry, I stamped the little fan, as well as the "from: your biggest fan" from
Be Mine Valentine.
The "congratulations" is from SSS's Congratulations stamp set.
Thanks for looking!
Congratulations to your sun,how fun! Love the card you made for him! That fan is my favorite out of the whole set!
ReplyDeleteCute! The "air" is so neat.

ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteA big day and a fabulous card to celebrate!! I wasn't thrilled when my older son got his license but it's absolutely a blessing (just like you pointed out in a later post). That son is an old soul and very, very law-abiding. My younger son has his learner's now and and I'm scared to death. He's my irresponsible, unfocused, slightly wild child - not looking forward to his driving at all!
