Monster Thanks......


Coordinated Thank You cards for Brett's 11th birthday party that we had on Saturday. We took Brett and a few friends to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center for an afternoon of fun before returning home for birthday brownies, goofing off, and celebrating. Cards use the same materials as the invites I made (down a couple posts) but use a slightly different layout.

Tomorrow is Brett's actual 11th birthday, so tonight we will flood his floor with balloons while he sleeps. I started this tradition when Kyle, my oldest was 3, and continue it until they move out of the house. It's a fun way to wake up on your birthday!

Card details:
Stamps: Little Boy, Tag You're It, and Making the Grade (Kim Hughes) for Cornish Heritage Farms
Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia by Tsukineko, Aqua Adirondack by Ranger
Paper: Classic Crest Natural White by Neenah Paper, Tango Tangerine by SU!
Patterned Paper: Nightlight Collection by October Afternoon
Other: Mini brads, Oval Nestabilities Die (cut in half)



And not related to Brett's birthday, but this is the
last of this season's roses. Jay pruned them back
for the *winter* that we have around here. We'll see them again in early spring.

The TY's are adorable (you cut all those monsters out? lol)
The balloon idea is sooo cool! I bet they just giggle with delight when they wake up (no matter the age!)
I think it's around -20 here. What I wouldn't do for some Cali sunshine and roses! Miss you!!!
