The main challenge that I made this card for was the MMTPT 332. The charming ladies of the teapot society are sending girly girl cards with lots of bling to a young mom with cancer. We were to think dresses, like Cinderella's ball gown. Well, while the real Fairy Godmother was whipping up a vision of loveliness for Cinderella to wear, the "Fairy Godmother in training" (FGIT) was working on a dress for Cinderella's friend, Matilda. The "FGIT" must have been out getting coffee when they taught the "bibity bobity boo" routine, because her dress turned out a little weird. However, don't feel bad for Matilda. The "FGIT" also forgot how to turn a pumpkin into a horse drawn coach, so she let Matilda borrow her bright red Ferrari...turns out that the prince has a handsome brother who adores cars. He noticed Matilda right away and they have been dating ever since. Back to the card. It's not only the Fairy Godmother in training that forgets things. I forget to stop myself when I decided that not one of my 579,822, 999 rubber stamps was right for this card. That little voice popped into my head and said, "I can just draw something". I fall for this bad idea every few weeks and am quickly reminded how much easier it is to just stamp something. I wrote the little sentiment "always keep a happy song in your heart", added a lot of glitter and bling, and I was done. I never thought i would be saying this, but it is raining and dark here in So. CALIF and i can't get a good photo of this card. TFL, Francie

Francie -WOW! I love your hand drawn image - you are very talented and your coloring is perfect. Loved your story, too. If you are not a writer and illustrator you should be! Thank you for your card, Nicole will treasure it.
