A nice pretty, girly one today. 🙂 It was my niece’s fourteenth birthday on Tuesday and this is the card I made for her, with a matching bookmark.  I have to say, the card looks heaps better in real life than it does in the photo.  Of course I had to add some bling, after all, what teenaged girl doesn’t like bling?!  In the photo, the rhinestone brad looks too big and sticks out, but on the card it was just enough to give it some sparkle, along with some glitter of course.  So, happy birthday Mikaila, I hope you had a lovely day and a yummy dinner out.

The Great Friends stamp set is yet another that will be no longer available come the end of November (sob – I don’t know what I will do without it!).  I think it has been used more than any other stamp set I own.  So if you don’t want to miss out on this one, contact me to order it before it’s too late!
