Vintage Birthday at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I don't know where time is going lately! I am definitely looking forward to spring coming though. The snow is getting boring now.

For this week's challenge at The Paper Shelter, our theme is FOR THE BOYS, which should give you lots of room for interpretation!

I have used a page from the 'Vintage Nostalgia' colouring book. There are several in there that are perfect for this theme, so be sure to have a browse!

As it's for a male birthday, I kept it very simple and just added a sentiment,

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our brand new Facebook Group.
