The Paper Players #113 ~ Clean and Simple Banners; Mister Magnificent Rides On!

Hi there!
 
And we're back around to Friday!  Whoosh!
 
That "whoosh" turns out to be a perfect caption for my card today.  I made a special card for a special guy.  Today is Mister's birthday!
 
I'm linking up with The Paper Players #113 challenge by the talented Nance, which I just noticed closes in 56 minutes!! 
 
 
Besides the challenge, I have an inspiration photo:
 
 
Here's the card I made:

Whoosh!

The motorcycle picture in the scallopini circle is from Word clip art. Mister has a red bike, too, but I don't have such a foxy picture of him with the red bike, so the photo and the card are not all matchy-matchy which gives me a couple of hives, but I'll be all right.
 
You could say there is only one banner on my card and ask the authorities, "Is that enough?"   I don't know.   You could say there are two other banners, one on each side of the track.   You could.   It might be stretching banners a bit, but you could say it.

We're going to celebrate with the family tomorrow since it's a school day for the twinks today.  We will be watching their first soccer game.  No, that's not right.  It will be our first time watching one of their soccer games and we can't wait! 
 
Then it will be off to lunch at a really upscale restaurant ~ not!  Mister wants to head for a "rustic" joint where the speciality of the house is deviled eggs.  When he emailed DS to let him know where he wanted to go, witty DS wrote back, "Sounds good, Dad.  You can look forward to a lonely night by yourself on the couch."  Think about it.
 
But, hey, it's the man's special celebration, made more special given his risky choice of hobby.  Go, Dude, Go!  My friends don't understand why I'm so supportive of Mister's hobby, given that life is too short.  I say, ah hah, that's exactly the point, life IS too short ~ you need to be IN it!  And he is that and good for him!

I'm as twinkled as stickled star to introduce you to our latest friend!  Please be sure and welcome Deb of Scribblin' and Scrappin', which is another adorable banner name!  Thanks for joining the party, Deb!
 
If I changed my banner name to something adorable, what do you think it should be?  Oh boy, this oughtabe good . . .
 
Enjoy ~ I hope your day is special for you and that you make sure you're in it!   (Just don't eat too many deviled eggs or you'll be in it all by yourself 'til the gas cloud passes!) 
 
As always, thank you for stopping by to visit.   Special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower or leave a comment!
