REALLY!

Our baby girl is another year older.....sigh. I do not recall giving her permission for her next birthday to come so fast! Really, I don't! Though, watching her grow, learn, and thrive is such a treasure. And I am truly blessed every day I see the world through her eyes and am amazed at her sweet perspective......thank you, Baby Girl!
A few months back, I tied off some pink ribbon with pink embroidery thread sewn through turquoise buttons and made another handful of the same bows, with the colors reversed. I think I intended them for a challenge or two.........that I never got around to completing. But, they have been staring at me....a lot! And I remembered my sweet girl asking me to use them......a lot! So, of course, they had to come out an play on a sweet & simple card for her birthday. :>
The card is uber simple. Twill buttoned bows are adhered with a little Fabri-Tac, the bottom bubbled up with a border punch, and a sweet little bit of polka paper is adhered to the bottom of the inside of the card.
Our Baby Girl (she might not be a baby anymore, but she'll always be my baby!) has picked out oodles of The Little Mermaid's Ariel to celebrate with this weekend and I'm looking forward to baking her cake (gluten, casein, & soy free, of course), singing to her, and watching her smile from ear to ear!
