Happy Birthday Eli!!

Today my oldest turns 15.  It doesn't seem possible.  I am really getting this old?  Yes, I think I may be. 

When I look at him, sometimes I still see the mischievous, white haired toddler he was.  The one that dressed like Joe from Blues Clues and would act out Nightmare Before Xmas when he watched it everyday.  They sure grow up too fast.  Eli is an amazing kid!  He is super smart, creative, witty and has my warped sense of humor.  He reminds me often that even though I may think something isn't gonna work, he will find a way.  I am so proud of the man he is becoming.  He stands up for what he feels is right.  He doesn't buy into what others may say until he looks up the facts for himself.  He is one of the few people that can shock or surprise me.  I love you Eli, always, no matter what.  And no matter how old you get, you are still my baby boy.

On to his card.  I used the guitar card file from the Silhouette store for the card.  I used the Silhouette sketch pen in silver for the inside sentiment on the black cardstock.  I did the outline in the SSDE and cut it out with my Cameo.  I added red and white homemade enamel dots.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Lawn Fawn So Much to Say stamp set.  I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black and embossed it.

Now to go dry my eyes and ice his cake.
