Happy Birthday Jonathon {one day early}


Tomorrow we're celebrating Jonathon's 14th birthday.  He's growing up before my eyes and becoming more and more outgoing as each day passes.  Over the last year he has grown a ton....and is about a 1/2 inch shorter than Ryan.  Jonathon has my dad's build (tall and lanky) and will soon pass up his older brother.  I'm not sure if he'll break the six foot mark like my dad and brothers, but he'll certainly be a tall Mangan!  I love to watch him grown into a wonderful young man.  He's trying new activities (thinking about track for the spring too) and making lots of new friends. I'm proud of the young man he is becoming.  His smile and laugh are certainly contagious!  Happy birthday my beautiful brown eyed boy.



His card is inspired by the repeating images on the current The Cutting Edge challenge.  Instead of repeating hearts I used stars for the birthday boy.

(I don't want to scare you, but our daughter turns 14 in december and is allmost 6 foot at the moment and still growing... She is taller than me and growing fast to my DH's lenght, wich is 6ft and 1 inch... But thats all in the family; I am the shortest with 1,75 meters...
Hope you have a fun day and that he find a lot of fun and good things to try/do!
Hugs, Gerrina

I am always leave thinning "I should use more patterned paper" or "I should do more colored cards bases"... always an inspiration my friend.

I just can't believe how grown-up looking your boys are getting. They are fine looking young men.
I also liked your card very much.

What a nice looking young man. I can tell he has a big heart, just from the look on his face. I hope he has a wonderful birthday. Your card for him is just perfect. I really like stars for masculine birthdays.

I can feel the love you have for this wonderful son of yours, Lynn. Love his smile and warm eyes :) My son has grown 6 inches this year! Passed me in March and is almost 5'11" at 14 and built very similar to Jonathon - tall and lanky. He wants to surpass my brother at 6'2" and if he keeps going at this rate he will do so in no time! A bottomless pit to fill up indeed LOL! Enjoy celebrating his wonderful day :)
