On Being 6

My son, Devlin is 6 today.

Yesterday, we celebrated at Chuck-e-Cheese and he had a blast! 

 

Above you'll find the card I made for his big day.  Using the Build-a-Bear die I created a special birthday card for my special guy.

It's amazing how quickly the years pass by.  As he grows up I am constantly in awe of his sensitivity, his sense of humor and his intelligence.

I am a very proud Mommy to this 6 year old!  I treasure every minute with him - especially our Friday night one-on-one time.  We get dinner together and rent a movie - then he gets to sleep in Mommy & Daddy's bed (at least until Daddy is ready to sleep).  One day he'll be too embarrassed to spend time with Mommy ... so I'll cling to every second he'll give me now.

Seems like only yesterday that he looked like this.  All dressed up and drowning in his going home outfit.

You get the picture ...

 

 

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY, DEVLIN!! 

Mommy & Daddy love you more than you'll ever know.

Pals Paper Arts (PPA14)

Pals Paper Arts challenge #14 is close to my heart. 

This week we'll be "In the Pink" in honor of breast cancer awareness month.  For me, this challenge is dedicated to my Mom who is battling metastatic breast cancer.

Come Play @ PPA:

• Create using the color Pink.  Any pink will do!
  
• Upload your creation to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, November 3 (Noon CST)
• If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA14 in the keyword section
• Win a Pink Prize Package valued at over $100!!

This card set was created using the Ribbon of Hope and Hope Happens stamp sets.  

The silver skinny tin houses all 4 cards and coordinating envelopes perfectly.  I used the whisper white note cards and envelopes for my card set.  They are a bit smaller than the average card - sized at 5" x 3 1/2" folded.
