My grand child #4, Collin, just got braces Thursday and he is in some serious pain today. Poor guy!! The worse part is there is nothing a Grandma can really do except sympathize...so that is what I decided to do by making him a funny card that lets him know I understand what he is going through.
I saw this adorable monster on a fellow demonstrator's blog and knew I had to change this from GET WELL to SORRY FOR THE BRACES PAIN and make it for him.
Is he the most ADORABLE and UGLY thing you have ever seen??!! I used the main idea and did some changes - made the eyes different sizes, added plaque around his teeth, and added the braces.
The little guy is just so fun, I laugh every time I look at it. Those eyes are like what one feels when one is on "the brink". We have all been on the brink for one reason or another, haven't we??
A close up of the sentiment on the front: HELP ME! ha ha
a look at his teeth from the inside of the card OR the inside of his mouth like a dentist would see.
Here is the card opened up and Monster says TEEF' HURT. ha ha L-O-V-E I-T.
A closeup of the inside sentiment.
One final look before I put a little note inside and send him on his way to help Collin feel better.
Thanks for visiting me and I hope you enjoyed my fun card. Please stop by again to see my next creation, won't you?
