FAMILY
Feel free to interpet this anyway you want. I made a birthday card using the image "Birthday + balloons + girl"

To me birthdays are all about family and fun. I printed her out twice and used pop dots to pop up a couple of the balloons. I then layered her on several differnt colors of card stock. The word celebrate is from stampin up. I sponged the edges and layered it on top of  ribbon.  I hope you have enjoyed this project. I am now off to work on another project. I will get a sneak peak up later this week end. have a great day and happy crafting.
