Elana the Ballerina

Well hellooooo all :)

Hoping you're beginning the weekend off on a great note! I myself, had a good day - the boss was off, I got a lot done. Now I'm home, and getting ready for my older daughter's birthday party tomorrow. But wanted to stop by and share a card I made for my daughter's friend a few weeks ago.


This is an adorable set from Technique Tuesday. It also has a princess image that I used here. Elana is one of my daughter's best friend's at school.

Their birthday's are close together - so their parties are usually a week apart or so - this year is no different.

I added some sparkle to her ballerina outfit with a stardust pen then went over it with an aquapainter - super sparkly. Finished off with a PTI sentiment - and beautiful Berry Sorbet ribbon.

Do you have a fond birthday memory??? Mine was probably my 30th birthday in 2007, when I was preggers with my 2nd child. Friends and family came over to celebrate - it was just a nice, fun day. What about you??

Thanks for stopping by!!! Hope you have a great weekend!

Happy NEW YEAR! And my Baby's birthday :)

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Today also happens to be my older daughter's birthday!! I can't believe she is 5 years old today! She was born at 9:32 pm on New Year's Eve. We got into our room, and settled just before the ball came down - we ushered in the New Year as a new family :). So much time has passed, I can hardly believe it! I put together a quick smilebox of Shannon from day 1 until today -

Make a Smilebox slideshow

So there she is...my girl...that's the song I've always sang to her...now I sing it to the other one too :) onto her card...


These stamps are from Technique Tuesday, the set is called My Litte Princess. TOO cute. There is a ballerina stamp as well. Check 'em out if you get the chance...it's perfect if you have little girls!

It's kind of hard to see, but there is a castle image stamped in Aqua Mist ink right above the chipboard 5...The ink REALLY matches the cardstock well - a little too well maybe ;)

So the princess was colored with my copics, and I've added a bit of bling to her dress and crown. The image was cut with my circle nesties, as well as it's mat.

The sentiment was stamped in Brilliance Chocolate Ink.

The Chipboard 5 is from SU! and was smooshed into my pretty in pink craft pad, and then I 'painted' it with Stardust stickles...real nice sparkle to it...

Hope you all have a safe and happy new year's eve...we're hanging out at home tonight for cake and chinese food...the birthday girl's choice.

Thanks for stopping by!
