Happy Birthday

Happy Monday, too!  Hoping that each one of you had a wonderful weekend!!

I found out yesterday that our new neighbor's birthday was....you got it, yesterday!!!  Don't you just love when that happens?!  Thankfully the little ones played Life's Twists and Turns all together, all nicey-nice (yay!) and I was able to whip this card up in a quick.  Phew!

 I had so much fun coloring this sweet image from Elisabeth Bell and paired her with a freebie sentiment from TLC!  Paulette gives away tons of amazing freebies daily and always has something fun in store over at the blog,  so don't forget to stop by today!!  The flower was a white baby Prima which I colored in R83 and R32 to match her pretty dress.  There are glints of Cotton Candy Stickles in the centers of the flowers on her dress but it was hard to captivate with my lack of photography skills ;)  A little bit of pink... a little bit of lace.....some pearls and........ Happy Birthday!
