Valentine Inspiration and More Nic Pics…

February 2, 2010, by {Jen}

We are getting into the swing of things here. Nic has a little attitude that can be a bit exhausting at times, but I think that we are starting to figure out what the heck he wants and when he wants it. I’m pretty sure that our windows have rattled during a few of his fits! LOL! I have never considered “baby wearing” before, but I think that he might be a good candidate for it. Still thinking on that one though. There’s more pics of baby Nic at the end of this post, but first I want to show what I did for TCP Tuesday. This week’s challenge is to create a project using this picture as your inspiration…

Here’s my take on it. As you can see, this is certainly not a literal interpretation. I took the idea of “love” and “Valentine” along with some of the colors and created this card using The Cat’s Pajamas set, Be Still My Beating Heart and Sweet Thing Glitzy Glitter

    Darling card. I tip my hat to you to be able to stamp. I was beyond exhausted when I had my kids and all I could think of was napping when they did LOL! Great pics of baby Nic - look at all that hair :D Love the last one where he is about to doze off.

    OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!! He is such a cutie pie. I could just pick him up and cover him with kisses…..I guess I’ll go grab one of my boys and do them instead. They’re getting to the “yuck, mom!” stage though…..lol!

    Great card Jen - getting back into stamping will help ease the stress a little. I’m no expert, but just had my fifth baby - I still think the transition to two children was the hardest. But it does get easier - and what a handsome new boyfriend you have!
