My neighbor's daughter who babysits for me, is turning sixteen this July. She really is the sweetest girl and I was so excited when she said she wanted to make her own invitations and asked if I would help her!! She chose all her papers and came over to my house a few times so we could cut, assemble, glitter and paste them together. She needed 45 of them. She was so happy with the results and we had so much fun together!
So, tonight I decided to make her birthday card using leftover pieces of the papers she chose and obviously loves. (the bright green and the polka dots in orange green and pink)
The sketch challenge was perfect for using scraps too!

Forty Five? Fooooorty FIVE? Ai yi yi! Can you just hear 45 sixteen year olds at a party? Oh no, better make a get well card for her mama! Lol. (Maybe get some earplugs too!) Deena, what fun and wonderful colors- and that sweet Bella perched on that beautiful blingy cupper! Wonderful!
