A fun weekend is ahead! My oldest son is already approaching his next birthday. I can't believe it, but Nicholas will be 11 on October 1st. It seems like yesterday he was just four. And what a cute 4-year-old he was. This photo makes me giggle because he always wore his glasses down on his nose. His eye doctor kept encouraging him to push them up higher, but he preferred having them down and tipping his chin up to look through them.
When did he grow older!? (Here he is at 6.)
His baby face is only in photos now. (Here he is at 8.)
But what a handsome young man he is turning out to be! (I can say that. I'm his momma.)
We'll be celebrating Friday evening with friends and then on the weekend with family.
Remember when Stampin' Up!® used to have that digital program, MDS? Well, I invested in My Memories Suite so that I could keep using my digital downloads from Stampin' Up! and design whenever I want. Nick's laser tag birthday invite doesn't have any recognizable SU retired digital images, but he LOVES this invite. After I designed it and printed it off onto our Whisper White cardstock, I then trimmed it out leaving a small white outline and layered it diagonally onto a piece of 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" Basic Black cardstock. OH! I also mailed this postcard style invite in our fabulous Whisper White envelopes. Gotta use Stampin' Up! whenever I get the chance. LOL
