"Converse" birthday card

It's my daughter's birthday... 14 yrs old!!  (Has anyone figured out a way to keep them little????)

She has been wanting a pair of Converse sneakers.  When we were shopping a couple of weeks ago, she saw a pair at Gap that are not actual Converse, but she liked them and wanted them, so we got them for her birthday.

In my many hours few minutes browsing on Pinterest recently, I came across a card that I knew would be perfect for her!!!  Click here for the original that I lifted the idea from.  What do you think?  Isn't this great???  It's pretty bare-bones for a girl, but she's my "not girly" girl.   Though she has started brushing her hair (without being told to!) and carrying a purse recently! ;)

Now I'm off to finish her cake! :)   Thanks for dropping by!!!
