Thank You for the Fun!



Okay... the color on these two photos turned out a little bit different... but the card stock used in both is the same. The bottom photo is the one that looks most accurate to what they were color-wise.

These are the thank you notes I sent out to my Bigger, Little Man's friends for his birthday party. I just thought it would be cool to share with the families the fun time we had at the party. (I had to do two versions, unfortunately, due to the fact that I did not have all the boys all in one photo at one time. The unfortunate reason being that one little boy got sick and had to leave and the other one showed up later.)
-
Anyway... I can never figure out what colors work best with that sage shadow (per Stampin' Up!) green color, so I therefore never use it. I thought I would challenge myself and use it for these cards... grabbed the handy-dandy color wheel (also from Stampin' Up!) and wah-lah!

Now, can you guess what two little boys in the photos are my two guys? (This is the only time I have shown their faces!) Also... I sent out completely different versions of thank you's for family... and I had a good time incorporating the photos into the cards.

I think your two little guys are the one in the Nauket (?) shirt and the one in the blue and white jersey shirt. All the kids are cute and what a great idea for the thank you cards. A souvenier for each one.

Actually, Barb, my two guys are the blondies on the back (on the top card). You got one right! The one in the sweatshirt in front is my older guy's best buddy.

Thank you, Barb and Chrissy, for the comments! I had fun doing this... kind of combining my love for cards and scrapbooking all in one! And I know for a fact that one of the boys really enjoyed getting the photo for keeps!
