Craft Project Central Challenge

I made this card from a sketch on Craft Project Central.  They do a sketch challenge every month.  Normally I don't have the time to participate in the challenge but today there was a loll so decided to give it a try.  

All products are by Stampin'Up.  I love the new Smokey Slate color that was added this summer.  Works so well with most of the colors from Stampin'Up.  Here I paired it with a Halloween DSP from last year.  

Hope you like it!

Allie's Birthday

We celebrated my granddaughters eighth birthday last evening at Julio's in Magnolia, Texas.  This was a big event for Allie since it was the first year she would wear the "BIG HAT" at the restaurant.  

When Allison was a year old, we were celebrating another birthday when the sombrero was brought out, placed on the head of the birthday person as the servers sang Happy Birthday.  It was loud and so confusing to a one year old.  Allison  was so terrified and would put up a fuss every time we mentioned going to a Mexican restaurant.  Last evening she faced her fears, they sang to her as they placed the sombrero on her golden locks, as you can see she was all smiles!  


     HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
              ALLISON
