Baby Boy Card - And a Bradley Update

Randy used my van most of the week to drive back and forth to work because the new tires for his truck were on order (nothing like waiting for a snowstorm to get those tires!).  He just got them on last night.  I've got the SU! logo on the van, but no one stopped him for a catalog.  Must've been all that snow we got!

My bestie Liz is having a baby boy next week (or sooner if she goes into labor).  I am so glad that I got her card finished before the birth.  Here's the card:

When I first got this stamp set (free from SU! !!!) I really didn't know how best to use it.  This way is pretty straightforward. The trickiest part for me was deciding what colors to use.  Even though Liz is having a boy, I couldn't resist coloring the hearts pink!  Aside from the coloring, it's a really simple card. Next time I use this stamp set, I may try the "spotlight" technique.

Here is the scrap of paper I used to test my marker colors.  It was a good use of those 1/2" scraps that I hoard, LOL!

I took Bradley to the orthopedic surgeon this morning.  He suffered a shoulder separation. This means that the end of his collar bone got pushed up away from his shoulder joint.  He didn't break any bones at all.  Bradley can do any activities that he feels he can do.  (He also said no gym class for two week, but Bradley doesn't have gym this grading period.)  He has to go back for a check-up in two weeks.

On the drive back to school, I told Bradley that I wished I had a copy of his x-ray to put on my blog. A visual would be good, right?  Well, he told me I was weird.  Well, I was only joking.  But I did agree with him that I'm weird.  No matter what we do all parents are weird to 12 year-olds, right?
