Happy Birthday, Girly Girl!

My niece turns six this weekend. (She shares a birthday with Harry Potter. How cool is that?) My fave first grader is, quite possibly, the girliest girl in the universe. That doesn't mean she's a weenie, though. Carlie will give a kid holy what-for without mussing her coif or her manicure. That's why I picked this cute little girl from Tiddly Inks for her birthday card. She's got attitude.

It also serves for the challenges at:

Aud Sentiments - Use a sentiment to make someone smile. She'll like this one.

Tip Top Tuesday - Make it Girlie

Totally PaperCrafts - Bling it Up. Drat. Just realized I forgot to put the pink jewel on the sentiment. I'll have to fix that before I send it. I love the blingy ribbon, though.

The Play Date Cafe - Use this color palate:

All of this girl's sketches are way fab! Totally worth a look!

The recipe:

Images (the border, girl, and sentiment) -  Tiddly Inks

CS - Bazzill

I made the flowers myself using a Cuttlebug kit. While quilling them is a bit of a pain in the tookus, it's a huge money-saver for me. I can make as many as I want, in whatever color I want, and adjust the size within reason. Definitely a worthwhile investment.

Ribbon - Really Reasonable Ribbon

Doily - Wilton at AC Moore

Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs to all the mamas of the girly girls! You need them! (And Heaven help we mamas of the boys they will one day OWN!)
