| BoyGenius on his FIRST birthday :) |
We had lots of wonderful family time all weekend with him, and a very special guest showed up as a "Surprise!"
 |
| His Uncle Howard surprised him and flew in from Nicaragua to celebrate his birthday |
 |
| His sister decorated the cake |
 |
| Not a cake kinda guy...thus the chocolate strawberries. |
The Kaisercraft "75 Cents" collection is perfect for a 'guy page.'
I also found this sketch on the Kaisercraft blog, for their April Saturday sketch challenge...
The keys are older K & Company, and I cut that heart from a scrap piece of corrugated cardboard.
The copper wire is Art-C, and the chevron stamp is Bo Bunny. I used both Clearsnap and Prima chalk inks for the edges and on the heart.
 |
| I used a fine-tipped Sharpie to draw faux stitches |
If you would like to see how this layout came together, I made a video tutorial.
I enjoyed designing with this Kaisercraft collection so much that I've already started another layout! Stay tuned....
