Birthday Boy

My little guy turned two on the 21 February and he seems to be evolving in front of our eyes, he losing the baby-toddler mannerism and is now heading into preschooler behaviour. His vocabulary has expanded and he is stringing words together. He still looks like the new little man that I held when he was born two years ago when he is asleep, and as bad as it is, I love having him fall asleep in my arms (unless i need the toilet) because apart from the weight, it is like holding him as a newborn all over again. He is mad on trains, planes, cars and "HELICOPPERS". If he hears one flying overhead he will race outside to spot it. Seeing as I didn't have a "helicopper" stamp I chose one of his other passions and went for the Choo choo set from the Spring Mini and made him his birthday card. I wanted it to be less birthday-ish so made it accordian style so he can have it out for a while.
It took me a little while to create and there was a lot of sponging. I clear embossed the clouds using the cupcake top out of Big Bold Birthday onto Whisper White cardstock the sponged over the top with Tempting Turquoise to create the sky. I stamped the letters then cut them out and blinged them with Dazzling Diamonds.
He loved it! Kept pointing at it and yelling "Train! Look! See it!" :)
