My eldest granddaughter is going to celebrate her 21st birthday with a trip to Disneyland with friends. I was working on her card last night when she stopped by. We had dinner together and then retired to the craft room. I had completely forgotten that this was half completed and in plain sight on top of the desk. She commented on how I had used the dies to cut it, and began making suggestions on design and embellishment.
Since the sentiment wasn't visible (I had quickly tucked it away under a pile of scraps), I just fell in with design talk, undertook a few of her suggestions (the flowers and brad centers), and set about finishing the card with her very much a part of it. She did find another image I had already colored and asked if she could choose dies and embellishment elements to make it into a card. Since that distracted her from what I was doing, I gave her free reign with that one and you'll see it posted to my blog when she gets it done. After she was safely gone, I added the sentiment. :-D
For this one today, the image is from LeAnn's World 101.
