One for Haylee

Another one of our granddaughters turns 16 this month. That's two this year.... Lizzy is already DRIVING, and by this time next week, I expect Haylee to have her license too. Where has that time gone???? Haylee's little brother is the last of the first group of 10 grandkids. Then there's a six year gap, and the next 10 little ones are all bunched together. I guess I won't feel too old until the latest little fella, Sean, turns 16. But he's got 15 years 10 months to go before that happens! It's been fun watching them all grow. Eleven girls and nine boys. Hmmmmm...someone in our family needs to have another couple of boys to even things up! It's a long shot, but maybe our bachelor son Joe will find Ms. Right and take care of that (hahahahahahahaha!).

I made a card for Haylee, based on Vicki Dutcher's vivid card over at Muse. It's right up her alley, as I'm sure like most teens, she texts, tweets, instagrams, fbs, and all those other things. So she'll 'get' this card, and might even be a little surprised that grandma knows what # means. Maybe I'm not such an old fogy after all! Here's the card Vicki made:

And this is my interpretation:

I know, I know...that green is awfully bright against the blue and black. But these colors happen to be Haylee's favorites, they are pretty close the colors Vicki used, and I had to go with them. I actually followed Vicki's layout pretty closely, just went a little more CAS with my card. Except for the Neenah white base, everything is from the old scrap box. I cut everything out with my Silhouette Cameo. No dimension really, as I need to mail this. No stamps, either. Die cut the # and letters using the Ariel Rounded Bold font on my Silhouette. Some rounded corners, and done. Have a great weekend everyone.
