Beaming with happiness

Good morning everyone!  This is Margaret.  Kathy and I have been shopping up a storm in the one day she's been here in Colorado.  Yesterday we went to Stamping to See You in Denver, Colorado...and did some major damage to our pocketbooks.  Today we have an even bigger day: Simple Pleasures in Colorado Springs, Archivers, and any other hobby store we can get our hands on (Michael's, Hobby Lobby, the Current outlet)  SO...we are extremely giddy with excitement.

Today I have a post for you.  Now that summer is here, my goal is to be able to make a card every day.  Today's card is one I will be giving my daughter Claudia who is having a big continuation ceremony from 5th grade to middle school.  I hope you enjoy...it is much more sparklier in person than on the photo.

 

Stamp: Verve

Paper: Crate Paper (Farmhouse Collections)

Embellishments: Star punch (Ek success and Stampin Up), Svarovski Crystals, Yellow Stickles, Embossing powder (Stampendous), Nestabilities (Spellbinders)

I will be entering this card into my first challenge (YEY!).  I have entered this into the The House that Stamps Built.  Repeat Impressions DCC523 ~ Three Elements Challenge
