18 years young

Photo Details

Poster: mitchygitchygoomy

Do you remember turning 18!! Oddly enough, that birthday kinda is eluding my memory. I think maybe my boyfriend gave me a star sapphire ring, but that could've been for Christmas since my birthday is only 5 days from it!! A sweet young lady in the church I am attending is turning 18 and I thought I'd wish her a happy day with this adorable little gorjuss girl. I think my doily stamp is stampendous and the cupper is from Unity stamps.

Hmmm...... I do remember 18, and I remember marrying up that Bucklman a week later and missing my HS grad in lieu of a honeymoon! Lol! Sistah, this Gorguss gal is dripping with sweetness as only you can lay out! Good night! I am still completely coveting your most delish coloring skills, and the way you bring images to life! Yes, super-delish, squared! Lymi, always!

Aaaack....back again. Did ya notice that cupper under glass? Oh-my-goodness, eh?

Oh, Michele - this is out of the world wonderful coloring - what a sweet and loving gesture to give this young girl a special card like this - the lace doily and the vintage BG paper are beautiful together, but I also love how you finished the corner and added those die cut flowers!! Add the paper piecing and lovely coloring, and then top it with the banners for her BD and it makes an amazing card - you sure know how to put your whole heart into a card!!

Glad I made it here to see this tonight ! I have been blessed!! Hugs!
