Somehow, some way my oldest Grandson Noah turned 14 this week! When he was born he was born 2 months early and weighed 3 lbs 6 oz! He was quite healthy and was off the respirator in less than 24 hours. But then on his 3rd day one of the NICU nurses (GOD BLESS HER!) noticed something wrong. That led to surgery which took a 3" quarter size in diameter piece of his large intestine out because of a blockage! If he hadn't been born when he was he would have either been stillborn or died shortly after full term birth! God knew we needed this amazing little boy and He answered this Grandma's prayers which from the beginning were "In due time Lord"! Then he got pneumonia and we almost lost him again. But by the time he was 6 months old you would never have known anything had been wrong with him - except for the scar on his belly which we still call his Miracle Scar.
Now he's 14 and healthy as can be and just an amazing young man! He loves video games and video editing so I made these signs and this card for his birthday. The card is for my Scraplift challenge today at Creative Inspirations. I lifted this card by Bev Code...
And created this card... (Notice I made a mistake on his year? Suppose that was my mind denying he's growing up so fast??? LOL! So I made him another one and I'll take the top piece off of this one and replace it and have another card for something else. LOL!) I used Kreaxions Punch #907 with Insert C for the corners and Insert A for the borders.
And here are the signs I made for him. I have to admit that they're BOTH COPIED FROM PINTEREST! But they were perfect! For both I cut cardstock with the words I wanted and then used the cardstock as stencils for the signs. And even more special, the wood came from our property. I painted this one...
They were both a lot of fun to create and Noah LOVES them which is the best part of all.
I hope these projects inspire you to create something soon! Happy Crafting!

So that meant I needed another card quick. To go with the gaming theme I took a Silhouette print and cut file and created this card for him... I printed the image on cardstock and then the Silhouette cut it out for me. I stamped the sentiment and added some Crystal Lacquer to make the buttons stand out.
And this one was done with Sharpie pens...
I hope these projects inspire you to create something soon! Happy Crafting!
