My son Noah's best friend is Noah! I know...how unusual is that?? Today is the friend Noah's birthday...he is 16! Noah has been the best friend my son could ask for. Since Noah's injury 5 years ago, Noah and his mom have come to our home twice a week to sit with Noah and give me a chance to shop or do whatever. Now that our Noah has a van, we take our Noah to their house one of those two days a week...but our family has so appreciated their friendship and love!!! Noah(the friend) LOVES animals!! He is becoming a rescue/rehabilitation caregiver (he came today to sit with Noah...ON HIS BIRTHDAY), today he had 9 baby opossums that he brought with him because they need to be fed every hour. I found this little mouse in the set from Penny Black Paint the Town...and paper pieced it all...I know...CRAZY...but thought it so cute...

I just love paper piecing!! Even the tiny little flames...well, maybe not THOSE!! And there are 8 candles and 9 flames...how fair is that???

Used gray bazzill, cream and a rainbow of colors for the candles all layered on Papertrey Ink white. I also used a shadow stamp from A Muse to ground the little guy. The sentiment is Papertrey Ink. Happy Birthday Noah...we love you!! Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa

Too cute Lisa. I love this cute image and your color combo.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved this adorable image and your card is just perfect for a teen's birthday! I thought I was bad with my tiny little die cut color placement, but now I see someone else enjoys that tedious work just as much as me! The result is fabulous! :)
