Hi everyone! Sunday means Paper Players time, and Jaydee has a sweet sketch for us:
My great-nephew Sawyer has his first birthday coming up, so I found some fun animal-themed papers and pulled out my sadly-neglected Owl punch and my also-sadly-neglected Labeler Alphabet stamps to make his card!! Here we go:
Mr Owl was punched out of a scrap of Early Espresso; his vest was decorated with some hand-drawn "plaid" with a Cajun Craze marker, and I added a little candle from a retired set called Sweet Stuff:
I added the "H B 2 U" along a branch, diecut with the Seasonal Layers Thinlets, then added a sentiment from the Sweet Stuff set on the inside of the So Saffron card:
So what will you create with this sketch?! It's a great basic sketch, be sure to check out the PP blog to see what the designers came up with...some beautiful creations there...and share yours with us too!
And here is a rare photo of our wee little ginger-haired birthday boy---rare because he is SMILING! As long as he is in his daddy or mommy's arms, he's as happy as can be! I know it's just a phase, but we all would like to have a chance to hold him, LOL!
And I don't think I shared this family photo, taken the evening before my dad's funeral; you can see Sawyer down at the bottom with his brother Jameson (who has a candy cane in his hand, not a toothbrush!!). Everybody looks pretty good except for Cassidy, who has her eyes closed, and my BIL Jim, who is standing behind my sister...all you can see of him is his glasses on top of his head! We got a good chuckle out of that!

What a cutie Sawyer is and I just love that family photo. You have such a beautiful family LeAnne! You have been in my thoughts, my friend. As always, you have created the perfect card for the occasion. That patterned paper is so fun with the punched owl and that sentiment inside the card just makes me smile. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteHe looks quite dapper in his plaid vest! I like the teeny sentiment letters and the single candle. Sawyer sure is a little cutie and just look at your beautiful family. Thinking of you and sending a hug.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see your little owl this week LeAnne - I miss him so! Love him combined with the patterned paper and funky modern sentiment - perfect for Sawyer's birthday. What a great family photo too. You have been in my thoughts as you continue with your sorting; sending you hugs!
ReplyDeleteGreat card for a little fella! Isn't funny how we overlooks sets? I often forget I've got the labeller alphabet, yet it's always fun to use. Love the owl's checked vest.
