This is my card for Cindy's (One Happy Stamper) DTGD challenge.
I've been dying to use this sweet picture of my grandniece Mila on SOMETHING - her 1st birthday is next month. I printed the picture on a canvas sheet on my printer. Then I layered it over a slightly larger piece of white card stock to give it a little frame. I stamped a wood grain background on the card base and adhered the picture over it using foam dots. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the photo. I die cut a cloud and stamped the happy birthday and 1 on it - I hand wrote the 'st' since I didn't have a stamp for that!
I made this as a card front - and die cut an easel to adhere to the back so it will stand up.

This is a darling keepsake card for your grandniece, Julia. First birthdays are so special. I know - we just celebrated our grandson's first birthday this past Friday. I see kisses and hugs, and lots of love on this sweet card.
