What a cute and adorable site!! When I first looked, I thought, "This is too cutesy for me." But then I remembered... My Niece, my sweet, sweet niece, Gianna called me the other day and asked me for some stamps. I send my mother cards often, birthdays, holidays, or "just cause." My mother and I were on the phone talking about my cards and my niece was sitting with her. She wanted to speak to me. She got on the phone and said, "Auntie Jenna, I want to make cards like you do!" I said, "Do you want Auntie to send you some stamps and paper?" I could tell her face LIT up, just by her response! "YES, YES Auntie Jenna!! I want to make cards with grandma!! Thank you, thank you!" It just about brings tears to my eyes! My sweet little Gianna wants to be a stamper like her auntie!!
I found this, "Foto Friends Ballet," frame and thought it looked like something Gianna would have in her room! Here it is:
So, this card is going in that box of goodies that I'm going to send to her!
About my card:
There are no stamps used on this card! I took some Blushing Bride that was sitting on my desk from a card a made for the, "Free For All," challenge this morning and I punched out a scallop circle and cut parts of it to make a "skirt." Then I drew a "top" so I could trace it onto the Concord Crush. Ran them both through my Big Kick and added some pearls... A LOT of PEARLS!!
Hope you like my SIMPLE SIMPLE card!!
Good Night all!!**
