Last Minute Gift....

Leave it to a teenager to forget that she needs a gift for a birthday party! Last night, as my daughter was getting ready for bed I asked her if she had everything packed for the birthday sleepover she would be attending tonight. She answered, "Yes." Then I asked her if she had a gift, "No..."

I decided that the good old fashioned gift of money would have to do. (To be honest, it's probably the favorite gift any teenager COULD get.....)

This morning, while she dozed away, catching that last bit of good sleep I dug out some retired papers, retired stamps, and stamps from the present catalog and put together this card.

That's "Made 2 Last", one of my faves from this catalog. It's perfect for male cards, teenage cards....you name it. I just use my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the images and it comes out looking great every time. The flowers are from "Kind & Caring Thoughts".

The cutest part of the card is actually the inside:



I just stamped a second pocket, cut it out, and attached it to the inner card using 3 mini brads. It makes the PERFECT spot to tuck that birthday gift of money! (By the way, the top greeting on the inside is from one of Stampin' Up's retired sets, "Pocketful of fun". If you happen to have it, it coordinates with "Made 2 Last" very well.
