Boy Birthday Cards....

I always find it a challenge to make masculine cards, especially for a couple of teenage boys!!  So here is my try at it.  Let me know what you think!!  I sure had alot of fun putting these together.  I love the 3-D and vintage look.

Recipe:
Images from Internet
I used Jasc Paint Shop Pro to edit the Motorcycle picture (it has a Wendy's billboard in it)  My best friend's son works at Wendy's, so I thought I would add that in for him, thanks for the great idea Mya!!  And I personalized the licence plate.
