On little boys and boo-boos

Like these cards? Want to support my business? Get a grab bag! click here for details--there are still a few left!

My son recently learned the word "boo-boo" and what it means (a good thing since he gets a lot of them, being a little boy!) and it is currently one of his favorite words (number #1 at the moment is Papou, but that is a story for another day...) Oddly, though, he HATES bandages. They disturb him more than the actual wound, so unless it is actively bleeding everywhere, we generally don't bother with them. Last weekend, he somehow scraped the edge of his left hand pretty good, requiring a bandage for a few hours, and then we've been letting it air-heal. So every day, multiple times per day, he holds up his hand and tells me or his papa all about his boo-boo and wants us to kiss it. This morning, he started kissing his boo-boos himself, which I thought was pretty cute. He still wanted me to kiss them as well (he has several little ones on both hands right now) but he was also kissing them and saying "boo-boo." He's a doodle!

I have two cards to share today. I made both using Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch for this week--it was such a great sketch, I couldn't resist! The first one is a Mother's Day card for my paternal grandmother and uses the Wings of Friendship stamp set, which I just received for free! Ask me how to earn this set--it is a good one.

The second card I made kind of on a whim, but I have to say, I *heart* this card! I had ordered a pack of Haiku dsp off the clearance rack (you can order a pack too--just click here to go to my online store) and I think it is going to be my go-to paper for while! I hadn't had a chance to ink up Dream Gardens yet, and I thought the sketch begged for this set to be used, plus the paper name; it all fit together so nicely! It's a little hard to see, but I sponged the edges of the main stamped panel with So Saffron to give it a softer look.
I generally try to find good homes for my cards, because otherwise, why do I do this? but I'm not sure I'll be able to give this one away.
