I remember when he was the baby . . .

I just downloaded a few card pictures and decided to update the blog. The first picture is of a baby card I made a week or so ago to welcome the fourth child and only boy who was born to a family in our church.

Inside it reads, "You're a blessing/ Yes, you are!/ Welcome, Baby!" I used my new Michaels 6x6 paper pad and a pebbles felt star I picked up a Big Lots for $1/pack. I was pleased with the way it turned out. 

Just this weekend, I made a 13th birthday card for my nephew. How can that be? It seems like just yesterday we were welcoming him into our family. 

I found this cute, free printable subway art here and used my Fiskars shape-cutter to create this "13" frame to go over it. 

Again, with the stamped gift wrap . . .

Strong and handsome at thirteen (towering over his beautiful mom). Not a baby anymore!

And one more little project . . . not a card, but definitely good paper. I made a photo banner using pictures of Jenni in her Halloween costume through the years. I had the pics printed in black and white because we agreed they'd be spookier that way. The banner is the finishing touch to our Halloween mantle.

Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. The banner was inspired by the one Windy Robinson did for a PaperCrafts magazine blog hop in September.
