I can't believe my Desmond is turning 6 today! I've been so stumped about what to make him for a card, that of course here I was trying to make his card before he woke up this morning. Fortunately for me, PrettyGrafikDesign sent out this freebie on Friday. Desmond loves Pikachu, so printing him out and putting him on an action wobble was a must. I looked through our Featured Stamper's (Motherload) gallery and found this fun scrapbook page. I really liked the stars for this card, so I die cut a bunch of stars. I wasn't planning on layering them, but they looked so good layered, that I ended up using them all as layered stars and, hey, look how many stars I ended up with! I dug through my backgrounds because I wanted to use one that we had made together and I found this one from the time I was showing him what the gelli plate does. And I layered a few strips of paper to mimic Cheryl's scrapbook layout. I also added some doodling around the red paper by writing "HAPPY" over and over because I always doodled on my scrapbook pages.
I did finish this before Desmond got up at 7:30 and he loves it and says he's going to keep it forever.
And he gave me a Mother's Day gift that he made at school--"All About Mom". It says my job is making cards and his favorite thing to do with me is make cards and if he could buy me any gift for Mother's Day it would be a card. Hmmm...there's a theme there.
Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! I hope you have a great day. I'm off to throw a birthday party...
