Legacy Baby Blankets

-

I started these months ago, but just now finished. I call them my legacy baby blankets. I'm not planning on going anywhere, but since I'm not promised tomorrow, good health, or continued use of my hands by the time the boys start their own families, I made two baby blankets, one for each boy, for their firstborns. Morbid, I suppose, but I wanted to make sure they had something made by me, just in case. They will be packed away for safe keeping for now.

Fiesta Birthday Card/The Birthday Project - ROYGBIV

-

My youngest son, Drew, is turning nine on Saturday, so I set out to make him a super fun and colorful card, which fits his personality to a T. This card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's spinner cards  and was a massive labor of love. There were so many elements to it, I had to do each part in steps (i.e. stamp the sentiment, die cut all the many, many pieces, assemble the card, decorate). It was so worth it, though! Doesn't it just want to make you FIESTA?! I just love how crazy it is. Kind of like Drew. Ha! I can't believe he's turning NINE!!!
