Yappy Birthday

It's our wonderful Doni's turn to host at Little Red Wagon this week and she's saying "Boys will be boys". Simply put, she wants to see masculine cards! Think the traditional blues and browns, fishing and cars, snails and puppy dog tails, etc. That said, any of these things are great for girls too! 

This card is for my middle guy who's celebrating a birthday next month. This year, for his birthday, he asked me to make a donation in his name to a charity of my choosing. When Jack was in Grade Six, he asked for donations to our local humane society instead of gifts for himself. I will donate to the same this year and thought it would be fun to make a dog-themed card. Plus, it includes puppy dog tails as per the old nursery rhyme of that which little boys are made. And when I saw the background paper, I knew it was perfect for when said son was in elementary school, he had lovely long hair. Once, on the playground, he whacked his head and needed to go for stitches. Despite the traditionally masculine name of John Richard on his hospital ID, the nurse called him "Princess" a couple of times - which is one of the names on the patterned paper of my card. We still call him Princess from time to time! 

We'd love to have you join our challenge at Little Red Wagon this week! Head over to the blog to see how the rest of the Girlfriends interpreted the "Boys will be boys" theme!
