cuppa for my daughter


I decided it was high time I participated in one of the Thursday Ways To Use It (WT189 for today) challenges. Julia Stainton is the challenge hostess each week, and today her challenge includes highlighting just one word in your creation and to also incorporate a bit of pink in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness week. Click right here to play along with WT189.

My card uses Kim Hughes' set Little Gal and paper from TAC's Mimi paper pack. The cuppa (that's the fun way to say "cup of", thanks Sherrie/BCSherrie!) is paper pieced with the designer paper, and the tag featuring "daughter" is from a sheet of punch-outs included in the pack. Edges are sponged with Close to Cocoa ink and buttons draw your attention to the sentiment. I made this for my daughter, Kendra whom I've been thinking about a whole lot lately, and she's now at the age where we can go get a cuppa together!

Here's a fun picture of Kendra and George...they {heart} each other! The photo was taken this summer and it's one of my favorites!
