When did this happen....

When did it happen?! My sweet little baby grew up to a KID! I mean, he's not even little anymore!!!! Today he turned 5. And next year he will start kindergarten. Man, they grow up so quick.

Today was a GREAT day for him too (his words). Today he had a field trip at school where they got to make their own pizzas. The owner of the pizza shop treated jack like it was his birthday party! He got to go first, was put front and center at the table. It was really fun. His teacher brought ice cream cups for everyone. TOmorrow i'm supposed to take cupcakes. and then saturday is his birthday party where he'll get cake. Tonight for dinner the waiters brought him out a HUGE molten brownie sundae. Of course i helped him to eat it. :D

We've had a few too many sweets to eat!

Since i cant show his birthday invites yet (they use new stamps!)

But i did think that this card i made fairly recently (i know i've been an awful updater) fit the bill nicely!!!

This is about how i feel like now after that brownie sundae!

And the take it easy is exactly what i keep telling my way too hyper children!

The image was colored in my most recent copic class at Scrapnesia (which by the way has now moved to a location in Spartanburg for my local readers)

Copic Colors B32, B34, B37; E21, E25; R22, R27, Y02, Y05

To keep with the high contrast coloring, i start with the darker colors on the edges and work my way in. In the smaller areas, you'll notice that i "skip a number" to what would be the more normal progression (instead of r24 and r27, i used r22 instead of r24) having more distance inbetween shows the difference of color better in those small areas.

The stamps used on this card are all from Paper Makeup Stamps. The über cute monster is Hershey. The sentiment is from the Little Moments stamp set.

And now to make cupcakes for jacks school in the morning! The sweets never end!!!
