8 Today and The Stig Revealed!

I can't believe that my little Ben is 8 today!  He has wondered off to bed after a really lovely birthday, he says it was the best birthday ever!  Here he is, my wonderful little boy who is now, well, not so little!  He is 8 - I can hardly believe it.

 

and here is the card I made for him because he absolutely loves Top Gear and what could be better than finding out that he is The Stig (for a day anyway!).

I found a picture of The Stig using Google Images and then printed it and attached it to the card with a brad with a photo of Ben underneath it so that the Stig's helmet could be swivelled to reveal Ben as The Stig - he was really pleased with it.  The Doodlebug alphabet stickers were perfect for the title the Happy Birthday is stamped with a little Hero Arts stamp and embossed with white American Crafts Zing embossing powder which is brilliant for detailed or small images.  The 8" x 8" card is from Papermania, they are great quality and it is the biggest card I have ever made!

We have been extremely busy in the house this week.  Mark is on leave for a couple of weeks and we want to get a wooden floor laid in the Hall (almost finished thanks to Geoff), paint the hall, paint and re-furnish the front door and decorate the bedroom.  I don't know if it is all going to be done but we are trying!  We have bought some gorgeous new bedding, bedside lamps and a little chandelier for the bedroom - all duck egg blue and cream.  We have also got a lovely green paint for the hallway - I am very excited. 

However, I have crop all day on Sunday which I am definitely going to (after all it IS Mother's Day) and then I have a week to do an awful lot of sorting, this house REALLY needs to be reorganised.  I have always know exactly where everything is in my home, I am 'Mrs Organised' but since we adopted Amy I just haven't had the time, three kids are a lot more work than two!!  So next week, feeling refreshed from my crop I am going to set to work - I can't wait for the result but I am dreading the doing!!
