These Emerson gals have got it all together, I love this comment...we think of it for birthdays...but really it is such a truth - we can take life for granted and forget that each day is a blessing! Thank you to Sharon (Aka *Doris* on SCS) for the Emerson images she sent me - I am having a lot of fun with them, and have a few birthdays coming up...so look out friends!!! LOL!
This card is for a new challenge I found through one of the followers on my blog(I love to find new blogs) it is called The Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog:
where it is all about buttons and bows - now I have to say here, I made this card without double checking the challenge and used ribbon and a button, but it was only AFTER I had finished the card that I realised that I had no bow - I am hoping that that gorgeous ribbon with 'Hugs & Kisses' over it will be fine....I would have lost that sentiment if I had made a bow!!!
The image was chalked and then I added the BLING - Kindy Glitz on the dress and CE on the cup and saucer, which I had already coloured with a red glitter pen, along with the flower on the hat! IRL this card is BLINGY and shimmers like crazy - it is so hard to capture it on camera!
I am trying to get ahead with birthday cards, there are a few birthdays coming up in the Twisted Sisters and I want to allow for posting overseas....which is so unpredictable!!!
Thank you for looking and for all the encouragement you have given me with your comments - I appreciate you very much! There is more of me on my Blog: http://lovelylindascraftcentral.blogspot.com/

This is a great birthday card - and so funny. Since you are getting ahead on your BD cards, you can go ahead and make mine since you are so good at it!
The colors on the image match the paper so perfectly and the paper is really great. Very, very good job! I like the other one you did with this stamp as well.
