Happy Birthday, Sweet Grandson!

Yep, you guessed it.... event #3 for Easter weekend!  My grandson was actually born the day after SIL #1's Birthday, so we get to celebrate A LOT in April!  My wonderful grandson turned 5 and it seems like my life is whizzing by faster than I can take it in!  Here is his card...


First, I apologize for the photography!  I seem to have gotten a bit "wonky" on my skills or maybe it was that I was lying on my belly taking pictures, or that I was just flat worn out after 3 celebrations AND Easter!  Either way, it seems I may have been tipping a bit.

I made a QACAS card, and colored it in a bit with Copics, nothing too fancy, but then he is only 5 and starts Kindergarten this year!  I won't be able to claim that long, since it seems like just yesterday he was born!  Lemme brag a bit while I have your attention -  he's smart (reading, counting and doing math already), polite, helpful, and loves to hug!  Wanna see a pic?  Here's an adorable one from his "friends" Birthday party (note the 'stache to look like Grandpa)!


Did I mention he loves to be silly too?   LOL!  Check out that one sock on, one sock off look too!  And how about that rock' hairdo?  He actually has a natural mohawk that stands up all by itself when his hair is shorter; however on this day his hair was just long enough to lay down!  What a boy!  Gotta love him, yep I do  :o)

Happy Birthday, Son-In-Law #1

A busy Easter weekend?  Yup!  This Birthday was event #2 for the weekend.  Since SIL's Birthday was on Easter, we spent the afternoon at my daughter/SIL's house with his family and ours.  It was a grand mixture of Easter dinner and Birthday blessings.  Great food, great company, and a couple celebrations to boot!  Here's his card...


This card's design came from the fact that my SIL, his dad and sister are all bicyclists, something my bum never got accustomed to!  This stamp is actually a NBUS, one that I loved from the moment I saw it.  And although my SIL doesn't ride around on a bicycle with a basket, I just had to put a pup in there because we are all dog lovers!  I took the cue from a color challenge running at the time that I was dreaming up this card, but of course I missed that boat!  And while the sentiment doesn't look Birthday-ish, it worked into and fit nicely with a sentiment from another set, so it IS a Birthday card.  Hey, and Spring is here, so it fits there too!

Wedding Wishes

Best wishes to a co-worker and her fiance (now husband).  This was done in colors of the wedding, and I can already say that I wish I had done this a little different...  Although I like this card, it needed a pop and it seems to me that those "mind flashes" come a little too late too often for me.  Anyway, here she goes...



This wedding just happened to be a GREAT start to a wonderful Easter weekend!  Best wishes to the couple, again!  Heartfelt sentiments inside by PTI Love & Marriage.
