BBTB2 Sunglasses challenge and BABY NEWS

Before we talk about my design for this week's BBTB2 challenge I have to announce that my son and daughter-in-law had their baby boy this morning.  We're so very excited.  Everything went well and Kameron came in weighing 6 lbs. 5 oz. and is 19" long.  Here's the long awaited first photo.  My daughter-in-law looks pretty darn good for just giving birth, don't you think?  We can't wait to travel down to Virginia to meet him for the first time.  Not sure when that will be with this house sale and packing to move going on, but we'll get there as soon as we can.

Just received second photo

Now onto this week's design challenge for BBTB2

This week our fearless leader at BBTB2, Heather, asked us to use the sunglasses from the Forever Young cartridge.  As with all the challenges at BBTB2, if you don't have the Forever Young cartridge you can use sunglasses from another cartridge.  I used Simply Charmed for my card.  My base is A2 size white cardstock with a turquoise mat and a background paper I made with my Imagine Best Friends cartridge.  My sunglasses sunshine is cut at 2.75" from a scrap of yellow polka dot paper and matted with another piece of turquoise cardstock.  My sentiment tag is cut from the Fabulous Finds cartridge and my sentiment is computer generated.  I used my colored twine I made using my Copics.  You can see the post telling you how I made it from plain ecru colored twine here.  This card was pretty quick and simple to put together and that's all I have time for at the moment because our house is sold and we are packing up.  Everything will be going in storage and we'll be hitting the trail for some serious traveling in our RV.  I don't know how long we'll travel--I guess until we get tired of it.  We're really looking forward to having our retirement plans finally come to pass.  We retired a couple years ago now but had to wait for the housing market to pick up.  The house sold pretty fast and we're excited to be leaving it in the hands of a wonderful family with three children.  We raised our five children here and it will be a bittersweet day handing over those keys but we have wonderful memories of our time here raising our family.
