Quick and Dirty Birthday Thank-Yous

I had to make close to twenty thank-yous for Tristan so out comes the clipart! I readied this in Microsoft Word but had to alter it quite a bit to T's liking (it started out in camouflage!), He wanted it to look like an F-16 Thunderbird (one of a number of faves)! We then discussed the sentiment...since he loves all planes supersonic, I suggested this sentiment and he agreed it would be best.

I wanted this one to be simple so I could get them done quickly. I printed them all out with the sentiment across the bottom of the image. I scored two lines along the bottom, added the eyelets between the two lines and stapled a bit of ric rac across the top (which I hope still comes off as masculine).

Of course tomorrow morning, before school, I will have to get him to write his name on all of these so he can take them to school. What fun!
