Paint Party Friday - 21st Birthday

I made this card for my daughter L's good friend, a lot of her friends are turning 21 this year.  It's acrylic (4 1/2"h x 5 1/4"w).  I took a photo because some of  the colours seem to show up better than on the scan.

Can you remember your 21st Birthday?  I can,  I'm thinking it must be one of those significant years like turning 30?

Linking to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday.

  2. How sweet! I remember being 21, but tend to focus on 22 more, as that is when I graduated from UH and left Hawaii for a trip around the world.

  7. Hi Christine,
    Funny you should ask this question since I do recall the year vividly. Maybe could be something to do with the photo that was taken of me, I like it : )
    The card is dreamy and i like how you painted the 21, she will definitely keep this one.

    Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing,

  11. Even though I'm only 24, my 21st birthday was very forgettable. Didn't do much to recall any good moments.

  12. Wonderful time of life - 21. I was still in college and I have no memory of that milestone. Maybe I didn't even tell anyone, who knows! Your cake painting is fabulous. Thanks for the comments on my watercolor pencil painting.

  16. Very sweet! Love the colors and arrangement -- the 21 has a lot of impact. I can remember my kids 21st birthday's better than mine.

  18. Wonderful card!! I always take photos of my art too...it's easier and shows up better!!

    Yes I remember it because even though the legal age in Canada is 19 I like being legal in the states where my parents had a summer place! I got two cakes that year, one was of the cookie monster, the other was a golf green, I got golf clubs that year too!! Wow thanks for the reminder!! I hated turning 30 that was my toughest birthday ever!

  22. I don't really remember my 21st - do remember my 30th as so many changes had taken place in my life. Sweet card - I think a hand painted card is such a lovely gift. HPPF

  25. Okay, now that I think about it, I don't exactly remember what I did on that particular day. Hmmm...I'm thinking it was just another college day!
