I've had quite a day today! I took a day of vacation to take care of some things. Nothing fun...believe me. After buying a new office chair, banking, dry cleaners, etc., I went to Wal Mart to buy groceries. Oh yeah...I also broke both pair of my sunglasses today. How does THAT happen?
Anyway, standing in the middle of Wal Mart I found a tearful little 4-year old boy. He had gotten lost from his grandmother, and he was so afraid! I tried to comfort him, then took him to the Customer Service desk so we could page his grandmother. When I asked him his grandmother's name, he said "grandmother". Okay...we started again. After giving a description of the boy, it took a while but his grandmother finally heard the page and came to us. She was crying...he was crying...and by then even I was crying! LOL! I just love stories with happy endings. I'm such a wimp! :-)
I also bought the book The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. It's been on the New York Times Bestseller list for a while now, and from what I've heard it tends to be a bit controversial. Have any of you read it yet??? I've love to hear what you think.
Okay...I know you didn't come here to hear about my day. So on to the card!
All stamps used on this card are from the Impression Obsession Cupcakes clear stamp set. I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with detail clear embossing powder. The image was colored with Tombow Markers and a damp paint brush.
On the cherries and strawberry I added a thin layer of JudiKins Diamond Glaze . On the cake plate I put a small dot of Petal Pink Liquid Pearls on each of the beads.
The scallops were cut with a Martha Stewart Doily Lace Punch . The ribbon is May Arts 5/8" Rose Sheer ribbon.
The designer paper is from the My Mind's Eye Penny Lane collection called Tiny Dancer . The cardstock is Pink Prismatics and Suede Brown Prismatics .
Thanks so much for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow, and hope you are too.
Happy Holidays

Happy Birthday! I have been on both ends of that situation and it is heart wrenching to say the least.....Enjoy your day!
Wishing you a fabulous year!
I read The Shack about a year ago...loved the first half, but struggled through the rest. I know this book has had a positive impact on a lot of people's lives...some of my friends have been inspired and encouraged by it. 'Hope you enjoy it!
