So the other day I was crying about my 4 yr old growing up. Now I'm going to brag on him a little. At Christmas time he received a rock guitar, as he calls it. You know one of those computerized type of things. Well he now runs around singing rock star songs. His two favorite songs that he has written are "My Mom is a rock star" (I personally love that one!) and "My Dad loves my Mom" If you can imagine the first one is a hard rock melody with him screaming the words, while the second song is more of a ballad. Here he is dressed in his rock star outfit that he has put together on his own, a vest from a western party, a dollar store bling necklace and his shades:
Anyhow, my point to this whole post is a card. As you know I just received this great order of stamp sets from Close to my Heart. And today as Nicholas was running around serenading me I realized that the Family Ties - Adult C1346 set matched his song exactly! First, here is the set: Don't you just love him?!
Isn't this set just adorable?!
So with the My dad loves My Mom ballad being sung ever so softly I created this card.
Nicholas chose all the colors for the clothes and I colored using my Copic Markers. After which we both decided it needed a little bling, cause Mom just wasn't Mom without some sparkle. So I went over the dress, tie and shoes with my Spica markers. I just love that this picture captured so much of the bling. Actually this is a pretty common scene in my home. My Dh loves to bring me flowers and he's forever holding my hand, even when we're just sitting on the couch together. He's a keeper, lol.
In addition to choosing the colors he also chose the papers. So it's a simple card but hey it was created from a 4 yr olds love song and his creative mind. I think he did a great job!
Supplies:
Spica markers Riding Hood Red cardstock from SU Striped paper - All My Memories, Toadstool Family Ties - Adult stamp set from Close to my Heart White cardstock from Papertrey Chipboard rings from Technique Tuesday Now the real reason I had originally purchased this stamp set was cause I felt I could use it with my Cricut. I'm terrible at drawing faces and I don't have a lot of cartridges so I thought that this would work so well with Beyond Birthdays. The boy and girl that are on the cartridge.
I thought that if I could cut out an image, like the boy, I could then just use the Family Ties set to decorate him. This was the result:
Not too bad, huh?! I had to re-bend the arms a little to fit the t-shirt. I haven't had a chance to play anymore but it does appear as if it's going to work well. What do you think?
Real nice leave it to him good job, love it
