Happy Birthday to You!

I recently made a mini album for a young lady at church and I found the perfect images at Mo's Digital Pencil.  This image looks so much like my young friend.  I finally broke away from my blue and white and decided to try some green, my daughter's fav color.  The scalloped circles are some clear stamps.  I hand lettered the 'BFF' and then covered them with Glossy Accents.  The young lady is colored with Prismacolor pencils.

I am totally excited, tomorrow morning we start for Texas to spend some quality time with my sister and BIL!  Good times!

My last 3 cards have been blue and white, do you think I like blue, LOL!?  The pretty flower image is from Sweet 'n' Sassy Stamps.  I cut out some extra of the largest flower and attached them with a brad.  I also cut out some extra leaves and added them with pop dots.  The corners were painted with some glitter paint and then embossed with clear EP.  To finish it, I added a yarn bow and a little ric rac trim.
