Guess What?

This is the birthday card that I made for Wyatt's 4th birthday. His actual bday isn't for a few days, but his party was today, and boy is he pooped! We had a Spiderman Slip and Slide, water guns, and loads of sprinklers going on in the back yard, so the kids all brought their bathing suits and played like crazy. Then we ate, had cake, and opened presents, and by the time everyone left, Wyatt was so overstimulated, it wasn't even funny! He had a blast though! So many awesome gifts from so many awesome friends and family. We're very blessed.

His big gift from us won't even come for a couple of weeks. He's getting a super cool tent loft bed with a slide. He's going to love it! I think I'm hating waiting for it even more than he is! LOL

Anywho, back to the card. I wanted to make a Suspension Card for his special day, because I thought he would love the interactive-ness. His party theme was Super Hero, so I thought that I'd create a phone booth type of thing (but w/out the phone booth) and show him changing from an average fun-loving kid to his SUPER persona. :)
Try not to be jealous of my super stylish manicure, but here is the pic of Super Wyatt and his trusty sidekick. For great directions on creating a Suspension Card, click here - Beate did a beautiful job on this tutorial!

The images are from Pink Cat Studio {Billy Set and Dress Up Wyatt (Billy) Set}, and the sentiments are from PTI (Simple Alphabet) and Stamping Bella. PP is from MME's Just Dreamy and ribbon is SU! The images were colored with Copics.

That's about it! Till later...

xox, Kirsten
