Happy Birthday to You!



Okay, now how can anyone resist that happy smile :) This was my baby about 10 years ago...I hope to get a birthday shot of her tonight...



I used the Caardvarks sketch for her birthday party invites. I tell you, I seldom ever work with purple {Paper Source's Beet} but since it is one of my daughter's current fav colors, what can I say, it's all about the birthday girl!


That DCWV floral paper is flocked...yup, it's pretty wonderful in person :) The square scallop with the word Fabulous is ala Pink Paislee which sits on a 'glue dot pop dot' on top of a prima flower. Did you notice the sentiment on the bottom {which is from the same Pink Paislee set}, "Be True to Yourself, Always"....gotta love that, for the young AND the old at heart.

Happy Birthday Honey!!!

P.S. This was a fabulous birthday gift for her...at least I'm thinking it was :)
