Mommy and Son Birthday Cards

I'm sure you have a slew of friends who have birthdays coming up... it always seems like August and September are just flooded with birthdays, and the other months are always missing out on the party. So ya, I've been trying to make slightly different cards than your basic balloons and cakes!

Well one of my closest friends in Connecticut, and her son (my favorite 5 year old!) have birthdays in the first week on August.  Like most 4 year old boys turning 5, this little guy is obsessed with planes, trains, and automobiles. He knows more about the Metro North train line than I do!

A special Truck card for Brady, turning 5 years old!

Truck Card Details:

paper is all basic colors from my stash, nothing fancy

truck shape from the Make the Cut gallery, and welded together for a card

all shapes in card were cut using my Silhouette SD machine

top of truck is texture embossed with a Cuttlebug folder

'5' stickers from my stash

I made him a shape card that looks like a Dump Truck (all kids get so excited when the garbage man comes by!). I also wanted to make him something special, so I created these personalized blocks for him. He can spell his name and I added some little trucks and cars to each block. I really love how they turned out! If you want customized blocks with your child's name, in any colors you want, just email me and we'll work something out!

his name spelled in different mix-n-match fonts and colors

Don't they look great? Even my hubby was oohing and aahing over them while I was working on them. I really am pleased with this gift!

And his mom... She's such a great friend, and is a preschool teacher by day and the mom of a kindergarten boy by night (well, actually 24 hours a day) so let's just say she really values her adult time. I think happy hour is the thing we're both best at together :)

Because Happy Hour should last for 24 hours when it's your birthday :)
