I used to be so good about birthdays. I would have cards out on time. Then I had kids. Then my kids got older and I got busier. And so now I have the need for belated birthday cards since they don't get out on time anymore.
I got this really cute snail set (Inkadinkadoo stamps) and thought it was perfect. The snail and the sentiments are all from the same set. The polka dots are from Papertrey, as is the patterned paper.
The snail is colored with prismacolor markers. Since I was in a brown frame of mind, those are the colors I went with on the snail.
Busy day today - first day of school for the kids. They are still young enough for it to be an exciting event, especially for Conor since he is starting kindergarten. Everybody had a grand time and excited to go back tomorrow - that's a plus! I'm off to get them to bed early since this morning they had to be woken up much earlier than they've been sleeping all summer! Have a good night.
I love this card! The snail is adorable...and worth the wait!
