First, I was very impressed that my boys actually thought about sending a card - AND they splurged on an Inta Juice gift card.
Second, I was a little annoyed when I got the list of don'ts: no bling, no ribbon, no patterned paper, no coloring, nothing popped or dangling, and definitely, without a doubt, no glitter. (Have they ever looked at my cards, how often do I ever use glitter??!)
Third, then they impressed me with a very creative idea. They wanted a lacrosse stick, broken, with a band-aid and a "OOPS". I had to let them down with the "oops" but I did have an "uh-oh".
Not quite my usual card - but my boys are thrilled!! (I really should have added some bling just to be annoying!)
- Stamps: Judikins
- Paper: Stampin' Up Confetti Tan, Naturals White, black, PTI Smokey Shadow

Oh, that's fantastic, Kim! I love your commentary almost as much as I love the card. Such thoughtful boys/young men, and such a wonderful creative Mum!
ReplyDeleteI'm with them...this is a cool card! Love the band aid idea, they pretty much had a great design and you did a great job with it Kim :0)

Love the card! Maybe we should get ideas from non card makers more often. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love that they didn't want anything "dangling"! Boys huh? They did come up with a cute idea though and your execution is flawless as always! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you've hit the brief perfectly! I think your boys are very caring. So sorry to hear about the young man's knee though - I do hope he gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteAbsoluely fabulous Kim
ReplyDeletesimplicity at it's best!
What thoughtful boys you have
Thank you for your comments on my latest card. i usually apply no skill to my cards, but, I do enjoy placing bits of paper together! [Big smily face]
LOL, such a great story and adorable card, Kim!
ReplyDeleteYour boys are very thoughtful! Maybe you could have hidden a bit of bling under the bandaid?
