There once was a ginger named Nerdy Nellie
Who loved to eat peanut butter and grape jelly
She was happy and quite a smart cookie
But her fashion sense was like that of a rookie
She wished she could dress pretty like Gingy
But all her clothes were boring and dingy
One day while Nellie was watching the telly
She saw a show with the famous Calvin Cookiebelli
She intently focused on all of his designs
And decided to change and dress herself to the nines
She snipped, snapped, threaded and sewed
Her clothes looked so good she nearly crowed
And to the store, sparkles she went to find
There were so many, it really blew her mind
She got what she needed, now she felt like a beauty
She looked as pretty as Gingy, she was a real cutie
That night when Nellie went out on the town
She was the best dressed cookie, all hands down
She even got asked out by Pierre Calfouti
She canÂ’t wait for her date, heÂ’s so flan and fruity
Nerdy Nellie is no nerd anymore
SheÂ’s out there, sheÂ’s hip with a world to explore
So look out Stingey Gingy, make room for Swell Nell!
Fun, fun challenge! Nellie is cut from Tim's GB die, trimmed out legs. Dress is cut from MME. Shoes from Hob Lob c.s. Pearls, rhinestones, gems are from a box of "junk" jewelry my friend (thanks Cherie!) gave me. The "hair" is comprised of little, lgt pink-cream colored flowers that I bought from a store in England. Lips are from a SU punched heart, trimmed. Distressed edges of card base w/Ranger ink.
Thanks for looking!
