Wednesday ... or is it Beth???

 So my Baby girl is sad - we have had snow, but not enough, and she hasn't had the best of days at school, and we made her do her homework, and now her big sister is being horrible to her.  Doesn't she look so sweet, butter wouldn't melt in her mouth - its EVERYONE else's fault *insert stamped foot*!!!

 So I have made her a feel better, here's a hug card as I finished work early ...
Now I have often been told that I am cruel refering to the gorgeous daughter I have just shown you as Raptor, but is a very suitable nickname (cute, small and deadly!!) and this Kraftin Kimmie stamp is my lovely, gorgeous Beth to a t - definitely the big, mischevious, happy grin!!  I coloured the image using my pens and then cut it out using my nesties.  I layered the dp up onto lime cardstock, aded some layered diecut flowers, the black webbing and gingham ribbon, and the the sentiment ... as she is very very special (in so many ways!!). I am going to enter this into the Kraftin' Kimmie GDT call, cos as my dad says - "you've got to be in it to win it"!!
