Earlier in this month on the third of November, and 44 years ago,... the child that who me a Mom made his grand arrival weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces. While he didn't fit any of the sizes of a newborn, we were happy and grateful that he was healthy and life was good!
As with all of our adult 'children' it's hard to believe how fast they grow up, have their own kids, do their own thing. Many times we've all wondered about our decisions and then their decisions. It's my belief that all we can do is raise our children knowing the Lord and pray they accept him as their Savior for their personal salvation.
Kevin is a server. He will help anyone in need and always goes out of his way to be sure everyone is taken care off. Somewhere along life's path, he learned to cook. Not just cook, really prepare great meals on the grill. You may not know what he's added to the pot (may not want to know!) but it always turns out great! I decided to honor his birthday this year with a Grill Master card.
I used Colorado Crafts: LL238 Lovely Legs~Chillin' & Grillin Dad stamp image as the focal point. I wanted it to be a larger card, so I stamped the image then scanned and enlarged it and reprinted. I used Copic markers for the coloring and computer generated the sentiments.
For the die cut edges on the image and the olive matting, I used Studio Light, Sweet Stories, Ticket Shaped Dies. The 5 x 6 card base is covered with coordinating plaid cardstock, the mats were secured at a slight tilt. Each piece of the sentiment was matted, trimmed and foam added before securing to the left edge. Lastly the 'Best Wishes' epoxy sticker was added at the top and the Quality 'button' at the bottom to complete the design.
He liked the card and of course what was in it - no matter what the age is the $ works.
Happy Birthday Kevin!
