This week, we're heading to New Zealand to brighten up the day of a little girl named Casey. Casey LOVES Rainbow Ponies (so do I! What a coincidence!) along with My Little Pony, so with that in mind, I allowed myself to indulge in a little whimsy. Which, if interpreted, means I had an excuse to whip out the stickles and use enough of then to cause a national shortage.
But hey!!! SHE WANTED A RAINBOW PONY. SHE IS ALSO 3, WHICH MEANS SHE LIKES PINK AND SPARKLES. SO, YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO, GENIUS!
Ooops....sorry....got a little defensive there.
I adore doing cards like this. I grew up a tomboy, but then grew into a girlie girl at 40. But I've always been a child at heart. Even my ex-husbands have been known to say that! In a sense. Instead of 'childlike', they actually used the word 'immature'. Meh...semantics.
But ordering stamps is getting harder and harder. Not due to lack of money...I'm always broke! That NEVER stopped me! It's actually due to my husband being a lot more aggressive in analyzing our bank acct expenditures. Where it used to be easy to convince him that 'Memory Box' was an online photo storage cloud subscription and that Impression Obsession was a site for job seekers improving their interview skills, it's getting harder and harder to throw him off track.
But until he sits me down and says 'No more' (highly unlikely) or shuts off my credit cards (likely) I'll just keep on working on using a little more self-restraint and resisting impulse buying.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....oh my.....hahahahaha...oh.....I actually got the whole sentence out before laughing my butt off....hahahahahahahhahaha

Carmen, this pink rainbow pony is beautiful! Casey will love "Sprinkles", so tell your husband it is well worth it, to make a very sick little girl smile!

I LOVE that mustang and it's now on my wish list! Love the glitter fest and rainbows you added for this little one! Your imagination is something else!
It's hard to type while still trying to climb back on the chair from laughing! Thanks for another hearty one!!

I love your pink & super sparkly mustang, Carmen! I hear you on the ordering, lol. Luckily, DH has a couple of expensive "hobbies" himself. And if it stays unnoticed for a week, then it's not new. "Oh that thing? I've had it awhile". When I die, I just hope he doesn't sell my stuff for what I told him I paid for it!!

What a perfect image and I love your coloring and stickles. I'm a little older than three and I love this card. You have created a perfect card for any age and I also love this stamped image. A great choice.

I have saved this to My Favs for two reasons, one cos' your card is super cute and sparkly and oh so perfect for a little 3 year old. The other reason is that I nearly wet my pants laughing at your story and almost collapsed with laughter when I read the comments by Julie. You are such a bright, sparkly light in my world Carmen. xx

So creative and clever! Love the stickles in the rainbow colors for the mane!!! Your write up is too funny!!! I lean towards the "immature" also he he he! As for the stamp supplies, "Happy Wife, Happy Life" comes in very handy!
