Jackson's Birthday

Jackson is one of my younger students and he had a Birthday this week.  He is learning the guitar and at the end of his Maths lesson the other week he played me Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  You can see therefore the inspiration for his card.

The image is called Play Guitar by Lili of the Valley but I think it is a retired image.  When I was working full time I bought quite a few of these sweet images.  I have seen some beautifully elaborate cards made with them but my efforts never get too complex.

I will find out this week is Jackson liked his card and had a good Birthday meal.



I waited to post this because of the MFP blog hop this week.  I hope if you are in the USA your Thanksgiving Day was a good one.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
