My oldest nephew turned 12 this month. This is a slight variation of the card I sent him. I love that Kim Hughes images work for any age, any gender.
I had trouble photographing this at first because there was loose glitter all around the keys on the guitar. (Are those frets?) Finally, I took a toothpick and brushed away the excess glitter..much happier now. Thanks for stopping by.

A 12 yr old boy is probably one of the hardest ages to make a card for… and you pulled it off perfectly! I LOVE the brown glitter on the guitar!!! And this layout is a keeper for sure! Fantastic card!!!
