There is a lot about this card that is retired. I do believe in pulling some of my older items out and playing with them. They need love too. Today I did just that. I pulled out some retired punches to make some quick punch art and combined it with some items from the Someone Special Stamp set.
Let me start by telling you why I made these cards today. First, I needed to make a happy birthday card for my great-nephew Zane; he will be turning 2 in a week. I know he will not know much about it, nor will he remember it, but he loves Micky Mouse. So I wanted to make something that would make him smile. He looks so much like his momma did when she was little. Miss them so much that is one of the drawbacks of being this far away from family.
I also have my donor family with a little one in their family who is not undergoing treatment for Rhabdomyosarcoma, rare cancer. You can read their story here and help little Zen if you like. If you can not, prayers are always needed as well.
I loved this set because it had a cute sentiment and strings to help me create my Micky Mouse balloons. I have been slowly collecting coloring books to send to his mom for the days that he has to go for treatment. Some days I am sure he will not feel like coloring or playing for that matter. I want to do something so they can see him smile and bring a little joy to him while he will be in this strange place, and they are doing things that hurt him. I am sure he does not understand at his age. He is a tough little guy, though.
The Card
The Inside
I hope you enjoy today’s little card. These are simple and pretty quick to make up. I changed the sentiment for them to fit each sweet little guy in my life.
