My grandson Max celebrated his 8th birthday yesterday. Typically we wait until his party to give him his gift, but as he's having his tonsils and adenoids removed today (and will be out of school for a week), we thought he could use his birthday gift and Rocket Ship Punch Art Card while recovering. (Note: everything went well and he's already home; tired and sore, but resting)
Max is totally obsessed with space right now, so we got him a set of books by Lucy & Stephen Hawking, aimed at kids 8-12. Let's just say…he loved them!
I found some "outer space" wrapping paper with some fun space ships and wanted to make a matching card . So I used it as my inspiration. Here's the Rocket Ship Punch Art I came up with…

- 129381 Ovals Collection Framelits Die (size #2 – Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight)

Stinkin' cute, huh?! I was so happy with the way it turned out and so was Max!
Happy Birthday Max!

Dawn, love your blog and have been enjoying your special fold cards…awaiting the next one eagerly. However, just wanted to say thanks for sharing your grandson’s gift. We hadn’t heard of the book series and as I have avid readers in the family, guess what my 8yr old got for his birthday…yep some books about George! Thanks so much!
