1st Birthday Shirt

25 Aug

I’ve been working on Liam’s upcoming birthday party and wanted him to have a special shirt to wear on his big day. The party is Circus themed (minus the clowns), so I was thinking of doing something along those lines, but then this idea popped into my head.  For some reason I liked the idea of a comic book “POW!”, but instead the shirt would read, “ONE!”.   It’s just so very bold, in your face…so very Liam!  Now I am wishing I had done an entire comic book themed party, but there will be many years and many parties to come.

The shirt is from Target and I used felt and “Steam-a-Seam Lite” to make the letters. I laid it out in photoshop first and the font is called “SF Comic Script” from dafont.com.  If you haven’t checked out dafont, you MUST go there!  Hundreds of free fonts to play with and so easy to install.

Liam seemed to enjoy modeling his big boy birthday shirt along with his new big boy haircut.

He has also been walking for well over a month and getting this photo was an event in itself.  Most of the time I only seem to get him running away!

I can’t believe my tiny little baby is going to be one in 11 days!
