From babies to teenagers

Pin It Now! Yesterday was the first day of school for our 3 boys & I couldn't help but think about they've grown up way too fast. Our middle son started Middle School & I had a bit of a "moment" when I dropped him off & again when I picked him up; it seemed just like yesterday our oldest was at the same school :( Now that son is a sophomore & our "baby" (who didn't stay THAT for very long!) is in Pre-K. Remembering their "yesterdays" of course included when they were newborns & we just found out some friends of ours are expecting so I decided to share a baby boy card today. Not long ago I shared with you a baby girl card & here is the baby boy card I said I'd share "some day". Guess that would be today :)

I inked the image from the set "Baby Bundle" using StazOn & stamped it onto a piece of white card stock. On a scratch piece of white I did the same thing with the booties from the same set. I colored them both using the small tip on my Marina Mist marker. I took a piece of Marina Mist card stock & ran it through the Big Shot using the dotted background from one of the texturz plates. I layered that onto a piece of Early Espresso & put that on the white card base. I layered the baby buggy onto a piece of Early Espresso & put that onto the card. I punched out the booties using the 1 1/4" circle punch & layered that onto the Marina Mist circle that was punched out with the 1 3/8" circle punch. That was then put onto the Early Espresso scallop circle & popped up on dimensionals. For added textured I tied a little bow with some Early Espresso 1/8" taffeta ribbon that I adhered using a mini glue dot. The inside was left blank so it's ready for whenever I need to. I made up several of these baby boy cards & several of the baby girl cards I posted in an earlier post.

Now that summer vacation is officially over for us & we're starting a new routine I WILL post regularly. That is my New School Year's resolution. That & I WILL figure out the best approach to picking up 3 kids from 3 different schools over a 90 minute time span! ;) Hope you enjoy your day!
