BABY BOY'S BIRTHDAY PLUS HANDY HIPPO VOUCHER WINNER

Hi Everyone

Here mega quickly today to share the birthday card that hubby and I made for our baby boy's birthday on Sunday.  Time is going far too quickly  .. .. it doesn't seem two minutes since he arrived on the scene!!

He is a super, uber talented musician so this seemed a really appropriate image for him:

This used:








Image:  Teddy Bo
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using a free font from Two Peas in a Bucket called "2 Peas Gift"
Go Kreate Die:  Large Frames Scalloped Squares
ProMarkers
and  lots of love!!!

So what was hubby's input in the creation?

He thought up the words for the top of the easel (considering one was his Son's name it wasn't too time consuming) and he also rummaged about until he could find a plectrum to use as the "stop" for the easel.  Where did it appear from?  The garage of all places?  Oh well, at least we had one.

So who "was" the winner of the Handy Hippo gift voucher?   Kerry was overwhelmed with all the comments that came through and you can find the winner on the Handy Hippo post here.

That is me for today.

I will catch you again tomorrow.

Love
