Confirmation Day!

This past Sunday, my son, Kyle made his Confirmation. Even though my guy is 14.......he likes getting my homemade cards. Which I think is sort of sweet! So I whipped up a card using a Papertrey set, some Pink Paislee paper and gold embossing powder. I also did a bit of airbrushing and created a shadowbox effect with my oval Spellbinders.
I didn't want to "girly" it up too much, so I added a small piece of a doily and gold cording. And would you believe I DIDN'T use glitter?!!! GASP! However, I DID add a couple of navy blue rhinestones. I think navy rhinestones are acceptable for a boy's card........right? ; )
Here is my "growing up waaaaayyy too fast" guy! He is officially a head taller than me. (Not that that is difficult to do...) His voice is cracking less and sounding less Peter Bradyish all the time. ; )
I love this candid of him finding his mother very funny! Yep......I am one funny gal!
If you haven't left a comment for my post below, be sure to do so......JustRite is picking 3 winners on Friday for their big shopping sprees!
Thanks for letting me share today!

    Beautiful card. And so good looking young man. My son will have his confirmation at summer, so I still need to make invitations for his party as well. Have a good day Michele!
