My Birthday Boys!

Well, 31 years ago, I was in the hospital, but for a good thing!  The birth of my first baby boy, who grew up way too fast and is now 31 years old (omg, where does the time go?).  His birthday was actually yesterday, the 17th and my baby, will be 27 on the 25th.  It's nice having their birthdays close together because it gives us a good reason to make time to all go out for lunch or dinner.  It's so difficult to plan time with them since they work nights and sleep days.  So any time we have together is so special.

My oldest is Billy and my youngest is Robert.  So growing up, when we bought toys, a lot of times we would pick out Blue things for Billy and Red things for Robert.  Just a way for them to remember their toys, I know, it's silly.  LOL... B for Billy and Blue and R for Robert and Red.  Of course, I keep that tradition up when I can, like in cardmaking.

This card is CASED from Nancy Riley and her great masculine card.  Thanks Nancy!!  I changed up the colors, the DSP and the Stamps, but the sketch part is pretty much the same.  Not to mention fast and simple, my favorite kind of card!  (especially for my boys who just don't appreciate that MOM made it... lol)
