Today I'm sharing the card I made for our gorgeous little boy, who is turning one on the 10th. I had SO much fun making a special card for him.
I knew I wanted to use the amazing To The Moon set. I stamped the main sentiment, omitting the I as the card is from his Dada too.
I wanted some little critters to match the paper from Echo Park. I stamped the giraffe, and paper pieced each of his spots. The owl is a punch from SU!
The notebook panel uses the Rounded Rectangle Die and Notebook Paper plain jane. I finished the card with a Pennant Trim Banner.
Inside the card I used a sentiment from Making a Statement. I added a pocket so Shanan and I can pop in a couple of letters for Jackson to read when he's older.
Thanks for dropping by, it's time to go visit with the lovely Sony now!
