Grandson Titus is 6 Months Old

Babies just grow too fast! My cute little grandson is now 6 months old. I just got back from visiting him. Of course I visited my daughter and her husband but you know it's all about the baby :-)   I live in Washington and he lives in Georgia. You couldn't get much further away. Thank goodness for FaceTime!

I like simple so the card is pretty straight forward.  You can't see it well in the picture but the turquoise piece was run through my Big Shot with the Linen Impression Plate.   The tag and the number are popped up on dimensionals.  I wasn't sure exactly where I was going with the tag so I attached before stamping the bottom part of the tag. Oops! Don't do that.  When I stamped the turquoise arrows there must have been ink on the edge of the acrylic block and it got on the bottom of the 6. Rats! That's why there are 2 sequins there. Cover up!  And then when I stamped the black I stuck my arm on the black ink pad. Double rats!  Ah well. That's the fun of stamping, right?
