I wanted to make a special card to celebrate my nephew's 40th birthday (how can that even be possible?!!). so I turned to Number of Years and Going Places.
I cut Sahara Sand cardstock to 12" x 6" and then scored and folded the long side at 4" and 8" to create a triple flap card (perhaps it has a proper name?).

| The numbers and stamps are from the Number of Years bundle. |
The front of card has the restrained, masculine look to it that I was looking for and it's mostly about the gorgeous Designer Series Paper - Going Places.
 |
| No, my nephew isn't an alien! I distorted the photo since I haven't asked permission to show his image. |
As the card open, it gets more interesting. The photo I found of my nephew was taken on a boat, so the nautical papers in the DSP were a perfect match. I was tempted to leave the side panels unstamped but eventually added "Hello birthday boy" from the Sale-A-Bration set Hello.
 |
| The birthday greeting is from the fabulous Happy Birthday Everyone set |
I balanced things out a bit with the compass design from the Going Global stamp set.
The colours are: Sahara Sand, Lost Lagoon and black.
Thanks for looking.
'Til next time.
Stephanie
