I love to make cards, especially cards for little girls because nothing is off limits in terms of flowers, pink, jewels, ribbon, etc. This is in complete contrast to cards for boys which I am usually making for my own boys and their friends. So,when I saw the darling 'self-portraits' on the Copy and Paste Project blog (sidebar), I knew something similar would be perfect for my sweet niece who turned six today. So, I made her a little paper doll card that is a mini version of herself.
A little closer:
And these photos from today make me laugh. I guess this is what life is like when you are the third child. My other two boys NEVER held their own bottle (and even sippy cups for a while)...they wanted mama to hold it for them. But, not Jackson...I guess he realizes it is easier to feed himself than to wait for me. Smart boy! ;)
Fall is in full bloom here and we love it. This week has been especially beautiful.
And lastly, don't let this ferocious lion scary...he's all ROAR!
cute card--i bet your niece will love it! i love making my own cards as well, BUT i have to admit that a lot of the time it is because I have forgotten once again to buy one ahead of time! : ) great pictures!

Those cards are adorable- love the fabric pants & shirt!
And your boys are so beautiful- you are going to treasure these portraits of them once they're older.
