Well I got the shot that I was told on Tuesday I wouldn't get. In fact he was quite agreeable with the first one, but not so much on the second one. First day of grade 12 for Ben, he was at rugby tryouts/training camp the first two days which is why he is sporting the scrape across the bridge of his nose. Only fitting since today was also picture day at school!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. Really feels like Autumn. I was wondering of you had gotten to RS today or not, and now I see that you did, and with such style. Love the pictures of Ben. The second one definitely has that look I am so familiar with--oh, mom, really, again.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo of your son...he is so handsome. I too took pictures on the first day of school but once my daughter started college that all changed, to "really mom" so I stopped. Your card is just stunning and beautiful and those fall colors are just perfect, love it!
ReplyDeleteGREAT colors you've used Tracey! So warm and comforting. Love seeing pics of your kids too : )

ReplyDeleteGreat card, I love that gorgeous autumn flower! You got one good picture of your son & I hope he had a great first day in his senior year! My senior yr in high school was probably one of the best years of my life!
ReplyDeleteTracey, this card is stunning. Really, really beautiful! I love how simple it is, but it packs such a punch. Fantastic! And great photo of your son. ;-) Hope he has a great year!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this fall card ~ great colors and layering with the lovely layers. Ben is quite handsome. When my son doesn't want his picture taken, I get a totally silly face ~ with his tongue sticking out. Perhaps boys have a one good picture limit!
ReplyDeleteStunning card Tracey! I wasn't ready for fall either but the cooler weather does feel good.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of your son - and I love your card! I'd love for you to link up at 52 Card Pickup this week.
