    Use his initials to make a number plate e.g. ABC 17YR
    Male friends have been chuffed when I've done this. You could put it on the car emb. or make a bigger plate above/underneath.
  • Oh yeah! Well I'm off to the craft shop so will post pics as soon as I'm done! I'm going for a blue and silver colour theme :D
  • I've made two brother birthday cards, one for my brother (which i forgot to take a photo of before sealing..doh!) and one for my Mams brother (my unc)
    Heres the finished card...

    I made a car card for my son by printing an image of the car he liked off the internet several times and decoupaged bits of it to make it look 3D. If you do a front view of a car you can do the bonnet, the lights the number plate etc. I personalised the number plate for him and added Glossy Accents on the windscreen, lights etc.
    Use your stuff challenge 50/50
  • Thanks scrapmate but i already made the one above :D your idea sounds fab though!

    I'm helping at a children's party in a couple of weeks. The average age is five.It was suggested that we do some crafts with them and somehow I've ended up being in charge of card making.

    I've done quite a bit of scrapbooking so have loads of paper etc but realy need help with ideas for cards for children of that age.

    Please can anyone help?
  • Hi everyone, here is the card I have just made for my daughters keyworker at school. My daughter was really shy when she started this year but her keyworker has really helped her to grow in confidence. I hope she likes it
