My 11 year old DD Maddy, quickly made this card for her teacher who had her birthday today...she amazed me as she assembled a SU Stamp Set that she was given on her birthday, without needing my help and proceeded to stamp this card. The HB image is from a RAK sent to me by Krafty Kylie and Maddy coloured it with Gllitter Pens...she stamped the teachers name with different coloured inks - it was hard to capture the yellow on camera. The layered flowers are attached with a jewelled brad from Peggy (aka Marilyn Preston)
Maddy came home this afternoon and was so glad that she made this card as it was the only one the teacher got (awww) and she was so touched that maddy had made it herself - made me proud of her AND her card!!
Thank you for looking and for your comments. I know Maddy would appreciate your encouragement!

This card Maddy is just beautiful. I just love how you used the glitter pens to colour in the Happy Birthday. If I was your teacher I would have been very happy to receive a card as lovely as yours.

Maddy, it is hard for me to know where to start! My mum was a teacher for 28 years, and she treasured the things her students gave to her- but she never had a hand made card. I know this touched Mrs. Laughlin's heart to see how you care for her! She will save it forever!
I love to see how you are growing Maddy! OMGosh, you have just started and already you are knocking my socks off with those glitter pens and blingy flowers. Hug yourself for me! Beautiful work Lil Sistah, keep 'em coming! XXXOOO

Maddy, sweetness ! I completely missed this oh so sweet card you made for your teacher. I just love the butterfly and I see you have your own SU sets now. Cool, love the letterings and all the sparkle added on this beautiful card. TFS I am so proud of you!
