Cooper's Third Birthday

Today would have been Cooper's third birthday; this is his second birthday in Heaven.

While our hearts are still broken, what a joy it is to know that there is a God in Heaven and he knows and loves each one of us if we will let him. In honor of Cooper, I made his Momma, my BFF Leslie, this card.



I punched out the head and added some 3-D dots for height.

I also frayed the end of the twill tape...sort of had to because I forgot to add it before I secured the front and I could only get one side lose enough to get the tape down...Improvise!!

Merry Sock-mas!!

Let me just say that I love this stamp set! I made this card for a paper piecing challenge at CardMaker. I pieced the following parts: light brown monkey parts, red mouth, red on his Santa hat and the ribbon on the package.
I think this picture shows off the card better than the top. There are 3-D dots under the package and the sentiment. AND!!! Stickles on the "fur" of the hat.

Cooper's Birthday

Cooper's 2nd birthday would have been tomorrow. His momma, my good-good friend, Leslie, often called him a "little monkey" so I made her this card.

We are all getting together tomorrow for a memorial baloon release then supper and socializing which probably means several laugh-until-you-almost-pee moments... but they are the spice of life!

So little man, I know that a birthday party with God beats a party with us anyday but our hearts are still broken.
