What do you do when your little one gets an owie?
Make him a card to let him know he's a rock star. That's what! Yesterday, my rock star tripped, fell on the cement, skinned both knees, and cried for what seemed like hours. Even ice cream couldn't stop the tears.
But after he opened this card from Mommy, he was all smiles!
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this Storybook Specialty designer paper when I saw it in the Idea Book & Catalog.
I love the bright, bold prints that show up on one side of the paper. The fun is waiting on the flip side ... side two provides you a coloring book effect. Cute prints are there begging to be colored in.

I have so many ideas rolling around in my head for this paper. All I need now is the time to sit down and create. It certainly gets busy working outside of the home, being a Mommy, and squeezing in stamp time. But I'll get there - I promise!

Adorable card and how sweet your little guy looks with your card in hand!
My little one still naps on the weekend for 1-2 hours. That is "me" time! Otherwise after he is in bed and then I'm tired! It's tough to be a working mom!!!

Sorry to hear Devlin got hurt, but glad to see he was so cheered up by your card! Adorable card! Devlin looks just like you. You both have that sensational smile!

How sweet. Your card is gorgeous and so is your son. *smile*

What a cutie...looks like his mommy!
Mommy time comes when I put both in front of a movie..sometimes. When the oldest is in school and the youngest in preschool, I get some mommy time! Summer is harder, tho!

Sweet card, Kris! You always make such sweet cards! As the working mom of a nearly twenty-year-old, I am still looking for "me" time. Does it really exist?

Ahh mommy, you are too sweet! Anything to stop tears, right? Great card and it looks like he truly appreciates mommys wonderful talent!

OK I just broke down and ordered the spiral punch after seeing everything you have been doing with it! Your little guy is adorable - at that age even skinned knees are cute (after the crying stops of course)!

Sorry to hear that Devin fell. I hope his knees heal quickly. Your card is so cute.

What a happy face your son had after opening your card; joyful is the word that comes to mind! He looks just like you [I bet you hear that alot]. Me time? That's easy; I live alone!

Devlin's pix looks so much like your own. How fun! I'm sure your card helped the healing process significantly. I love it. I have this paper coming as part of my paper swap.
Hugs,
Mary

Hey Kris! Thanks for the wonderful comment on my blog :D And I was just reading a little here and I SO wish I had extra money to buy some of this stuff! I would go nuts LOL Not like I have time but it would be fun to do a little something after Nic is sleeping. Devlin is looking even bigger then the last time we saw him. It's just amazing how fast they grow. I remember seeing Stefan at this same age :( Now he's gone to college. Enjoy him while you can! I'm SO happy I have Nic here yet to enjoy.

i didn't think much of storybook specialty until i saw your card. i love the patterns... cute pics of devlin - i'm sure you've heard this before, but he looks just like you!

Awww.... what a sweet idea to give him a card! Mine is still to young (2 yr old- he would rip it up and eat it!) but I am saving the idea for later! Hope he feels better!
Love your use of the DSP and the color combo you chose is awesome!
