Happy Birthday, TJ

Today is our son's 27th birthday.  I wanted to make him a card that looks masculine, so I put on my thinking cap and pulled out some embossing folders and worked around those.  I was rather pleased with how they turned out, and so was he.  YEAH!  Guess I did good.  My father and husband really liked them too.  My dad especially liked the one gift card holder with the brad.  Check them out below, along with the card:
