Happy Birthday Faith

     My youngest grand daughter  turned one September 19 th...I bought this elephant stamp  from SU  a long  time ago, possibly before she was born, with the intention to use it for her first birthday card... We had planned her party to be Tutu's and cupcakes  for  as long as I can remember...
One slight  change,  she Loves Mickey mouse... Which is  fine with me, as I love  him too ...lol    So we added Mickey Mouse into the mix of things...    My youngest daughter  went with Mickey as her theme  for  her card,  but I stayed with mu  origonal  thought .
Here is a picture of  my card...
I used some SU textured  Melon Mambo card stock for the base,  and some  dp from a 6 x 6 pad named Lime Twist from My Minds Eye...
I accented with pear pizazz by SU. I stamped the image on water color paper, then  used colored pencils and a blender pen to color. I used  the large oval punch and the scalloped oval punch, some pear ribbon  and the corner punch too.  I added some tiny bling  from Michaels  to the balloon...I used black Memento ink  to stamp the image,,,
I love that the cake  has just one candle on it....This  elephant is so cute
 : )

I have birthday pictures to share,  I am gathering a few extras  before I decide...
Thanks  for looking, have a great week end.

    Most definitely, she was Her Aunt made her cakes, her sister was so much a part of the day, her cousins loved on her and played with her new toys...lol
    and so many people brought great gifts, clothes and toys and books... and some of us simply spoiled her with LOVE
