Had a lovely evening yesterday when we decided to pop down to Northumberland and see the Olympic Torch in Bamburgh. There were loads of people lining the street and we had a good vantage point seeing the torch twice as they doubled back on themselves. We then stopped for a meal in one of the local hostelries with other family members.
Torch changeover under the beautiful backdrop of Bamburgh Castle.
I can't believe that my eldest has turned 22 today, it doesn't seem five minutes since I was that age! So today I'm sharing his birthday card, made with his impending trip to Mongolia in mind!
The background has been embossed and sanded using a World Map folder from Couture Creations which I found at the last craft show I attended. The picture is of the Transfargarasan in Romania - one of the best driving roads in the world - which he has built into his route across Europe and that's the car they will be driving! The logos are the official rally logo on top of their own logo. Hope he likes it.
I decoupaged the images for dimension.

What a fabulous thoughtful card Carol. I'm sure your son will love it. My son is 16 this year and I just can't believe how the time has flown. I went to see the Olympic torch in my nearest town Bridgend, South Wales. It was a great afternoon and the weather was perfect.
