For Valentine’s I had some cards on hand for my kids, but none quite “manly enough” for our older son, so I pulled this one together for him. He is the son that LOVES candy. He is constantly taking the gum from my purse, sneaking things out of the snack cupboard, and if I find an empty wrapper anywhere, I know it’s him. He is 14 and constantly hungry...and not an ounce of fat on him, but he does loves to sneak treats. So, right away I thought of these sets from PTI, Friendship Jar and Friendship Jar Fillers. This would be what I would find, an open jar...with a bunch of gumballs missing :)
When I went searching for some fun paper to match the gumballs I found this great pack from Echo Park - All About A Boy. When I saw that sentiment strip I knew it was perfect for what I wanted to say to him.
Cracks me up when I look at it - I’ve been playing Bejeweled on my little iPad and the colours totally remind me of the game!

I love how bright and colorful this is! Great sentiment and image backed up by a fabulous design!
Love your card! My 13-year-old son is also a Gum-aholic! LOL He chews gum like it's oxygen he needs to live. :) His other vice is golden oreos, and I'm always finding empty packages in the cupboard. I'm not sure what boys have against trash cans, but they avoid them like the plague! :)
