Heartfelt Creations Wednesday Inspiration

Hello friends! Today I'm sharing a project that includes someone very dear to my heart. She's our youngest grandchild.
Miss Alaina Joy. How many of you remember this song from your childhood? So appropriate for this young lady who brings such joy to our hearts. 
You'll find the instructions below for how I created this cardboard canvas.
