Hey there. :-D A short while back, a longtime friend of mine asked for a custom set of thank you cards. This is one of the designs she received, since she is a fan of all things nautical:
It is quite simple, with some repetitive stamping of a starfish (Blockheads Paper Arts) and a nice, big sentiment (Papertrey Ink). I also added a scallop shell (Golden Acorn), another starfish -- both trimmed out and popped up -- and a couple of pearls. The images received a coat of clear glitter, too.
My youngest daughter had oral surgery a week ago today, in preparation for braces. Sure would be nice if she could just have braces put on her teeth, with no issues to fix beforehand. Poor kid had a couple of teeth grow in sideways, and some extra-heavy layers of gum tissue covering some teeth in the back, where the brackets/anchors for braces go. The doctor dug holes into her gums to give a clear view of the teeth in there (ew), so the orthodontist can attach those brackets. It's been a painful week for her.
When her smile is finally picture-perfect a couple of years down the road, she'll be glad. Right now, she is having a hard time imagining that!
