It is truly going to be a very nice, sunny, warm day here in NE Wisconsin!!  I am going to spend time with my In-laws and my son and his girlfriend and her 5yr old little guy gathering pumpkins, walking in the woods and soaking in all of God's fabulous beauty!!!!!  Our son had us over for Homemade chicken soup last nite and then we shared stories around a fire---OMG I just couldn't get enough of the fun with a 5 yr old and even our 28 yr old as he is an OTR trucker.  What a blessing kids are!!!!!!

Found this cool cement heart at Joann's Craft Store and altered the design with EBell's Little Miss Mouse Image!!  OMWord it turned out so dern cute!!!!

Walter the Moose

Hello~~  Today I made a birthday card for a Very Special 5 year old little boy!!!  He celebrated his Golden Birthday yesterday......SOOOO Happy Birthday Hendrix!!!!!
Made a Popsicle Stick Type card~~using Magnolia's Walter the Moose.  I chose this stamp because a few weeks ago I met Hendrix and his mom and our son-Eric,  at the New Zoo in the area and we had seen all sorts of fun animals but.......of course the moose was resting inside that day :)

Meet Magnolia's--Walter the Moose

This is Walter all colored and cut out!!  Copics used YR 27, 24, 23, 21, 00, R20 and black prismacolor pencil with gamsol.  Hooves and Antlers-E79, 74, 71.  Diamond glaze gave shine to nostrils, eyes and 

hooves.

 

Isn't this just the cutest for a little 5 yr old boy!!!!!!  Can't wait to give it to him ;)  Used Orange textured CS and added designed Heidi Swap tape to side.  MS icicle punch made grass layers before placing Walter.  Added some lime green stickles to the grass.  Also used the tape to punch out some MS small butterflies.  Sentiments are SU

Inside of card--continued with narrow tape and MS ladybug punch dazzled them with little TH walnut stain ink, Viva Decor black pearl pen and Lime green stickles for eyes.
