When it takes all the acting skills you have learned
To face the day with a grin
When life takes a turn and you feel youÂ’ve been burned,
And you donÂ’t like the spot that youÂ’re in
You take on the world and you give it a go
You keep trudging down all the miles
You earn an Oscar each time you wake up
And face the day with a smile.
Stamps: SU text, dots are eraser end of a brand new pencil
Techniques: I drew the body and used a template to cut out the dress, stamped it and then embossed it, rubbed edges of everything with a cotton ball and reddish brown stamp spot.

The drawing is wonderful!!! Such talent! I love the hat and it is something Lauren would wear. The poem brought tears to my eyes and I printed it out and took it to Lauren. What beautiful sentiments! Many thanks for your efforts on Lauren's behalf!

I think the sentiment says it all... you've really outdone yourself with this fabulous card and your very heartfelt poem. I'm betting Lauren will really be touched by your thoughtfulness.

Beautiful card. Gorgeous dress - love the way you made the polka dots with a new pencil eraser. I'll have to remember it for future projects. Fantastic drawing of your pretty lady.
