Aged to Perfection

Here is a great idea for the "male" birthday card we all find so difficult to make.
Love this old pickup from Doodle Pantry as well as the perfect sentiment
to go along with it. I created this card with a shabby look to go along with
the challenge this week at the Sugar Creek Hollow where Doodle Pantry is the sponsor!
