My Birthday Boy

Happy Monday! Well, I know I would rather being saying T.G.I.F., but it is what it is. I am here this morning to share with you the card I made for my son. Yes my baby is turning 17. Hard to believe for sure. Our children change and grow so much between the years 1 - 18 ranging from looks, personality and aspirations. And while he is still growing into a young man, he is not my little baby any more (so he tells me.)

Funny how they try so hart to be adults at this age, yet as parents, we know they still have a long way to go. They have their entire life ahead of them and that is so exciting for a parent to see.  Now he may not think he is my baby boy, but us mothers know differently.  You may think that the image I chose seems young for a 17 year old, but if you knew my son, you would get the joke. He can spend hours playing his games. We have to still set time limits for him to get away from the computer and come and be social. Now part of that may be that he does not want to hang with us old folks, but I also think it is just their generation.


The image is from All dressed up. The theme over there this week is Love inspired. I may still enter this card as this card was made/inspired with Love for my baby! LOL. The sketch is from Feeling Sketchy

Here is what I used:

Paper:

  • DCWV Teenage Dream Stack
  • My Minds Eye - Everyday Tango
  • White card stock for base of card
Punches/Die Cuts:

  • Stampin Up Paper shapers
  • Sizzix Circles and Scallops
Stamps/Images
  • All dressed up - Gaming is my life
  • Stampin up - Family Reunion
Hope everyone has a Fantastic Week!

I would like to enter my cards into the following challenges:

    Thanks for sharing this fun card with us. I love the image and the fab colours in the backing paper.

    I enjoyed your story about your Son too. My Daughter is 30 and I still think of her as my baby, although I don't confess that to her these days!
