Happy 26 To My Baby Girl

 My sweet baby girl recently turned 26.  It is amazing how quickly the time has gone by.  It's also amazing how your child can become one of your best friends.  I love you Ciara!

I created a stair step card for Ciara, using Cakewalk from October Afternoon.  Isn't it so fun!

 I love the vintage images that October Afternoon used in this collection.

 I remember having a pin the tail on the donkey at one of my birthday parties.  Love!

 I popped up most of the elements to give them a jumping off the page look.

It was just luck to have the number 26 on the Bingo page.
That's it for now...I need to get it into an envelope before she wakes up :-)

Stair Step Card

Here's my submission for this week's challenge over on the Late Night Stampers group. I was a bit intimidated at first, but once the body of the card was made, it was all fun. The directions are very easy ~

• Cut your card stock to the size of 10.5 X 5.0 - if you want to stamp on this, now would be the time to do it.
• Score your card stock at 1.25" - 2.5" - 4.25", 6" and at 8.25" Now fold with hills and valleys (accordion style) making sure that the smallest (1.25" fold) is folded down, as this will be the front of your card)
  
• Now here's the fun part...decorate with ANYTHING...punches, cut-outs, stickers...whatever your theme is, run with it.

I used all the stamps that are included in the Heritage Holiday set, some ribbon, hodgepodge and some careful cutting.
Link a picture back to me so I can see what you create. I warn you, these are a little addicting.
