She's 21!

Wow!  Our second daughter is 21 years old today!  I just cannot believe how quickly my children have grown up!  I look back and wish I had cherished every stage a bit more.  I've heard it said, "Enjoy every minute."  You can't and don't enjoy every minute, but I wish I had enjoyed every age more.

Enough of that and before I start bawling, here's my daughter's birthday card...



I was looking for something and found a pkg of tags I had forgotten I had.  I grabbed this one and searched for scraps, washi, and embellishments to match and searched for some challenge inspiration, and voilà!  A card was born.  Speaking of birth... this daughter was the only one of my 4 kids born on her actual due date.  :)

My circle is Die-versions stitched circles.  The banners are Kat Scrappiness Fishtail Stitched Banners.  "Happy Birthday" is a Bo Bunny clear sentiment.  "21" are Thickers.  I think the washi is Recollections, and the adhesive dots are Paper Studio.


Challenges...
Krafty Chicks #447 - polka dots
Seize the Birthday #161 - dots and stripes or anything goes birthday (I did anything goes)
Dragonfly Dreams March - for a special female (for my sweet daughter)

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Happy birthday to your daughter. Mine turns 21 in a couple of weeks. They grow up way too quickly. I'm not sure I can take the heartache. LOL
