birthday wishes

Hi there! Today I have a few projects to share. This month we are celebrating my dear son Jerry's 29th birthday. Jerry's birthday card features a printed photo of an airplane that Jerry is currently flying for fun. His hobby is aerobatic flying and the his first competition will be this coming April.

Jerry currently lives in San Francisco with his sweet wife April. Last week he came to town for a few days :)
Here's the crazy little airplane that he is currently doing his aerobatic training in:
We are also celebrating Connor's 21st birthday in a few weeks so I also made a card for Connor:
I also made a few Valentine's Day cards for my loved ones:

For all the cards sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with Freshly Made Sketches: 
For a few of the cards color inspiration, I'm joining along with the Color Throwdown challenge:
 I also have a 5" x 7" oil painting to share featuring a couple of abstract roses:
Here's the photo that I used for inspiration featuring a few roses from my rose garden:
I'm linking my painting to the Paint Party Friday site:
Thanks so much for stopping by! 
Be Sweet ;)

Your painting is beautiful and I love the flowers from your garden. I can't grow roses... hell I can't grow anything so my garden works like this... if it dies - oh well... if it survives... plant more :D :D :D
