1. OMG! There is something seriously wrong with me! I can't make a 4.25 X 5.5 card! I started out with the very firm intention to do that for this birthday card for a friend who loves polka dots as much as me! I was not, I repeat NOT, going to get to a 6 X 6 plus a little on the side!!!
2. I just can't seem to start small enough in the beginning....By the time I put all the ideas in my head into the layout, paper, embellishments or whatever it grows and grows! Oh poop!
3. I love this stamp (Tara) from Rubbernecker. This little girl stamp called Tara is my new favorite stamp! I masked it to get two!! And see the umbrella and present, that was a birthday gift from Shelly, Yo Sam! Thank you Shelly!!!!
4. And thank you Traci, my real life friend, for this awesome paper...its so me!!!

Who cares about the size - they do say big is beautiful . Wonderful umbrella - I wouldn't mind one like that myself. It's always a great colour combination too

Oooooo-weeeeeeee! I LOVE this pretty, pretty card! The pink, the black, and the polkadots all rock, but I especially love how you masked and stamped two of Tara; she is adorable! What a beautiful card! If it isn't for my birthday, I'm forewarning you that you need to make another so I can have one of these lovelies in my Mothermark collection!

This card is so beautiful, and it's made in my favorite color combination, pink and black (pink is my favorite color...so you know I would LOVE this card) I also really like that image you used. It's now on my wish list for Christmas...
