My Baby Is 13 Today!

I officially have a house full of teenagers now, my youngest has crossed that bridge to a TEEN! I have to admit I am feeling a little blue this weekend by her big birthday, which took me a little by surprise. I think it's just been a year of BIG changes, my oldest starting college, Samantha turns 18 in two weeks, Toby turned 16 last month, and now Jessica turning 13. That is a lot to take in one year! No wonder I have so many grays. *wink*

 

I made Jessica's special card using iPodabella since as a "teen" she always seems to have her iPod in hand. I also used her favorite color PURPLE. My image was stamped with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I added Star Dust Stickles to the fur on Bella's Jacket and Yellow Stickles to the center of the flowers on the patter paper for some bling. The paper is some very old stuff I found in my stash. I used my JustRite Stamper to make a special personalized sentiment just for Jess, which is inked with a Colorbox Queue to match. Then I used my Circle Nestabilities Dies to cut out the layers which are up on foam tape for extra dimension. The ribbon is by Offray.

Here is my Birthday Girl! 

Happy 13th Birthday Honey! I love you tons and bunches!

Happy Birthday to your baby! Wow! You can't possibly be old enough to have kids that age! :)

I just love the card. I am also guessing that purple isn't a favorite color of just your daughter's...you might like it as well!

I am hoping our house sells soon so I can get my craft stuff out again! I am going crazy seeing all these cute cards and not being able to make anything of my own! :)
