I wanted to use this image today, because I wanted to send my GREAT Niece a card...You see, she JUST got glasses...And, she's 5! She CRIED! Poor thing...When she called to tell me all about it, she said, "Aunt Faith, I look so STUPID in these glasses....Just like you!" Then, after I stopped laughing because I heard her mother's HORRIFIED GASP through the phone lines, I said, "Darling, you're young! Glasses make you LOOK SMART!" Then she quietly said, "I guess you are right. Markie is REALLY smart. He has always been...." Then she paused and said, "I guess glasses made you smarter, right? 'Cause Momma says you're a real dumb bunny most of the time!"
Yep...My husband's niece had better learn really fast that her little darlin' is a parrot! LOL! I'm gonna use this for YEARS! LOL Imagine the cool gifts I'm gonna get from now on...And my birthday is right around the corner! *insert Insane Laugh Here!
The image was stamped onto white, colored with Copic Markers and cut out. The background dp is a notecard that I cut up! I found it in the Michaels $1 Bin!

This is just wonderful, Faith! Your cards are always filled w/ color and detail. Some of my favorite things! And I love that you used a $ bin card for you bg. Another fave thing. Thanks for caseing and for always leaving such sweet comments.
p.s. I'm laughing at your niece's parroting of her mother. Geez, if my parrots parroted my DH, it would be like living w/ a bunch of sailors, lol.

Faith, you have out done yourself, this is fantastic!!!!! Kids sure say the darndest things don't they? I just joined the gym again and while I was sitting with the cute young guy who was signing me up, my 11 year old daughter spouts out... "so how long before you're skinny again, I want my old mommy back". As you can imagine, I was horrified and really just wanted to crawl under the table!! Anyway, I really love this card, these colors are amazing and as always your coloring is supburb! Tsmfs!

WOW! This is just DARLING. The glasses are so cute on this image. I know where your niece is coming from with the glasses. My kids have been wearing them since Cody at 9 months and Dallas since Kindergarten. My boys were always told "hey, dont they look like the little boy from The Christmas Story". The one with the bb gun? She'll love this card.
