Another beautiful day, had some rain yesterday evening, but a lot of wind also....
Today is a reminder of the halfway mark for challenge 58 at Digistamps4Joy....Oh my... how time flies.
When making my card I thought of my young grandson starting BIG school today. It seems like just yesterday he was that tiny baby...spending his first weeks in an incubator, and now ready to tackle the big wide world of school.....yes! how time flies.
I used 'backback Bro' for my main image, coloured with watercolour pencils and cut out with X-cut nesting dies, and on the background I used 'naptime'. I put the card through the cuttlebug with my new Couture Creations embossing folder..'workshop', as it had clock parts on it. Computer generated sentiment, and brads to finish off.

Great card. Thanks for joining us at allsorts. Tracy x
ReplyDeleteLove the background paper texture on it. Great job and thanks for entering the "anything goes" challenge on CDAC
ReplyDeleteUrsula this card is just so cute. Love the way you have the baby image on the background paper to show the growing of the boy. How did he like his card?
ReplyDeletePerfectly portrayed! They never told us that parents have growing pains too. Thanks for joining us at Artistic Inspirations this week.
ReplyDeleteI love all of the attention to detail you added to this card. It makes the card SO special. I'm sure your grandson loved it. We grandparents have growing pains along with the parents, don't we? I keep telling my children to please remember that their children will grow up TOO fast b/c my children did. They are doing such a better job than I ever could have.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card, I love your embossed background.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Crafting for all Seasons.

What a creative card! I love the stamped image in the background with the embossing. Thanks for playing at My Craft Spot!
ReplyDeleteUrsula, this is adorable! Love the embossed and baby background. really interesting! Thank you sweetie for joining us at 7 Kids College Fund! Hugz
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute boy image... awesome colouring and what a touching sentiment. Yes, they grow up so very fast. My older one has turned 13 and I just don't seem to know her. When she wanted me, I wanted to do my own thing now that she has grown and I want her, she wants to do her own thing. That is life - a complete circle. Thank God, I have a second daughter who is almost 5 and I will try and best to be more aware to the fact that they grow so quickly...
ReplyDeleteHope you and yours are well.
G'day Ursula, your card for you little grandson is so cute. I also wonder where the time flies to. My second grandchild started big school this week. I feel like we can't blink these days, for fear of them all growing up so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in the fun at Lady Anne's Challenges (Nana Vic) We look forward to seeing your next creative project.
*Hugs*
Ursula, what a special card. I know your grandson will love it. Thank you for joining in the fun at CDAC Anything Goes Challenge. I hope to see more of your work in the other challenges going on at CDAC.
