My card this morning is a salute to a very astute, 6-year-old who has four older brothers (ages 13 through 21.) She's the only girl and the baby of the family, a completely unplanned 'happy'-stance, and wonderfully unspoiled despite being everyone's darling. :-D The sentiment is an exact quote - directly from her.
I colored this adorable Bugaboo Stamps image with my ProMarkers and followed the recipe from Catch the Bug Challenges (3 layers, pink, and scallops.) The striped dp and the distressed pink dp (cut with the same Memory Box stitched, scalloped circle die) are inlaid so that's really a single layer. Then I cut another scalloped circle, smaller this time, and embossed it with my Swiss Dots folder. Finally, I added the image which had been cut with a plain circle die (QuicKutz), making the other two layers for the recipe.
I used two different grosgrain ribbons to make the bow tie and sewed on a tiny button. What you need to know is that Dollie, the 6-year-old, has a 5-month-old, Siamese kitten and he wears a red collar with a bow on it that looks like a bow tie. I thought that made this card perfect for her and I'm sure she'll get a kick out of it when her own birthday rolls around in September.

We are barely starting the weekend (depending on where you are in the world) and I hope you have wonderful, restful, plans made which include lots of relaxing crafting. Stay out of the heat if you are in the midst of a summer heat wave, or indoors, toasty and warm, if you're in the middle of a snowy winter. Each of those are great excuses for hanging out in the craft room, right? Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
