Happy Birthday to a Sweet Niece!

Many years ago I became an Auntie to the sweetest little girl.  She will always be special, because she was born on my dh's Birthday -- April 30th.  She is also the daughter of the greatest sister in the world. It seems like only yesterday that we were celebrating Art's birthday and got the call to say that I had a new niece.

This card is made especially for her.  We've become closer in the past 6 years because she has the same disease I have..............  obsessive, compulsive and hopeless, stamp, paper and ink-aholic.   Couldn't be a better way to spend time with a favorite niece.  She's so wonderful,  she accompanies me to Salmon Arm once a month  (on her day off) for our Stamper's 10 Group.  How great is that.

So,  Sandi - this card is for you. Happy Birthday!

I was struck with inspiration from a card posted by Shelley here.   I started out with a criss-cross card, but  decided to pop Tilda up to look like she's stepping over the belly band on the card, thus, ended up attaching the belly band to make it stationery.     The sentiment pulls up.




For the back, I attached a little flap to make  the card stand all by itself.

Thanks to the magnificent talent of the Magnolia-licious gals,  the cards they post leave me  speechless - I can only hope to maybe someday learn to use my copics to achieve the same results .

Thanks for dropping by - Comments are always appreciated.

Remember, "stamp up a storm, ink up a wish and send it on to brighten someone's day.
