I changed a bunch of stuff but kept the cool layout. I messed up sponging, so I added the leaves to cover it up. Grandma said mess ups are always the best cards. I think so too.
Thanks for looking at my card. It was fun. I did the cuttlebug and picked all my paper from grandma's scraps.

You did a great job, Hailey! And do you know what perfect cards are called? Not homemade! I'd take a special handmade card ANY day! Keep up the great work!

Hello Hailey. Congratulations on your first Featured Stamper upload. I just love the little Monkey image and the stamped foliage.... Great job with the cuttle bugging and sponging. I really like your little green flower and tag sentiment. Great colour combination. I like the little bow in her hair Wonderful case.

Hailey- I am so proud to be your grandma! Your first FS card is awesome! I loved watching you go thru the scraps and find the perfect paper. Love your idea of using the cuttlebug to make your card 'pop', and also how you went thru the flower jar to find the perfect one. You are amazing, and really growing as a stamper! Love you much!

Wow, Hailey, you have done a really super good job on your first Featured stamper challenge. Those dp you picked from grandma's scraps go great together. I really like the bow you gave that monkey and I can't tell you messed up at all. Keep up the good work.

Hi Hailey!
Your card is wonderful. I think you did a wonderful job with this little card. I think if you keep stamping like you did on this card, you will be a better stamper than your grandma AND your grandpa! What a fun family event!
Don't worry about mistakes...they are creative opportunities at least that is what I keep telling myself! Giggle! Your leaves OVER the sponging is very creative!!!! Have fun stamping and enjoy your grandparents! You are a lucky little girl!

Hailie! Girlfriend! What an awesome card!!! I love it! That bow on the monkey's head is perfect! I especially love the colors and patterns you chose as they make the perfect BD card. Sometimes, your Grandma lets me have some of her images that she stamped and I get to do the fun part and color them. I look forward to seeing more of your art! Great Job.
