As a mother of two cute little monsters, this week's challenge at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog makes me mushy - Mothers. The image that I am using however brings me to my knees sobbing. When my son was little I always, and I stress the ALWAYS, read him the story 'Guess How Much I Love You' by Sam Mcbratney. When I saw this little boy who is aptly named I Love You THIS Much, I was sunk.
This card was a labour of love for myself (from my son of course!) using three different papers from the My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary line: Little Boy Blue 'Curious', Jack & Jill 'How Sweet It Is', and Jack & Jill - 'Favorite Thing'. My six year old will be decorating the inside with a story and a picture which I will treasure for years to come! My three year old daughter is convinced that the card is from her - so expect to see a pink version of the exact same image - including the dinosaur on the overalls! The matched set will be a fabulous keepsake for Mother's Day.
So Happy to Have You follows the layout of the current sketch at Friday Sketchers. Please join us this week at Karen's Doodles US Challenge Blog in celebration of Mom. I look forward to seeing what YOU create!
