We have yet another grandson who has a birthday this month. He is turning 17 and is the one who is the incredible swimmer, He has qualified for two pro-cuts (allowed to compete in professional/Olympic level swim competitions) in the 200 yard backstroke and the 50 yard backstroke.
I chose the blue on blue DSP for the front of his card because it reminded me of water and bubbles.
Each panel on the inside includes a swimming image (clipart) that features one of the three strokes he most often swims. The two panels in the middle pop out, which adds a fun feature to the card.
Here's a closer look at the first two panels where you see the butterfly stroke on the left and the freestyle stroke on the right. All of the sentiments were created with my computer.
Here are the last two panels which show the backstroke and a pocket in which to put some birthday money. The small piece of light purple paper just shows how the money can be slipped into the pocket.
We have been working hard to get ready for three family members who are traveling here from Germany. They actually arrive today. Our grandson will stay for two weeks, our son-in-law will stay for three weeks, and my stepdaughter will stay with us until October 3. The meal planning for extra people is the biggest change for me. I'm just not used to cooking for so many people any more. My DH and I tend to eat very simple meals, and we actually LIKE leftovers. I guess I'll have to up my game for a while. lol
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

What a super-special, personalized card for your grandson! Enjoy your company. That would be really hard for me to cook for extra people for all that time, too.
What a great card - I am sure he will love it. I always seem to cook more than just for 2 so left overs is a main meal around here.
The best thing about card making is personalizing them. Your grandson will be so impressed with this swimming card. The blue paper does look like water. Enjoy your company. Hopefully they are a helping bunch.
