Happy Birthday Michael!

Today is my nephew Michael's 15th Birthday! This kid is a sports phenom! Great at Baseball, Bowling and a Super Star in Hockey, inline AND ice! I've had a great time traveling to many places to watch him play.





Today's project is for Michael. It's tough to actually buy a 15 year old anything, so a gift card is usually the safest bet. I wanted something a little cooler than just a card with a giftcard inside, so I found this cool latticed giftcard box on the Silhouette Studio website. Nothing frustrates me more, than not having what I need instantly, so I'm loving the fact that I can order what I need online and use it immediately! I must admit, I've been a bit addicted to "shopping" for cutfiles in the Silhouette store.



The Gift Box is a Silhouette Cutfile. I used the team colors of Teal, White, Black and Grey for his favorite Hockey team, the San Jose Sharks. The Power Play is cut from the Cricut All Sport cartridge and the crossed hockey sticks were pixel traced from a JPEG in MTC.



I cut the sentiment out in Silhouette Studio using the Wide Latin Font.

I'm sad that I'm not able to spend his actual Birthday with him, but I'm thankful for all the years that I did! I love you, Michael. Happy Birthday!
