Project 98 - "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!!!"

Hi there everyone,  I want to dedicate todays post to the gift that I received 12 years ago... My daughter Taylor, who turned 12 today.  I look at her and I still see the little blue eyed, blond haired, tiny little baby.   It brings tears to my eyes.  I remembered it like it was yesterday.  Time sure does time fly by.  Now, she will be the newest member of the Young Women's Program!!  In our church, the Young Women's Program is just amazing. It teaches the girls such wonderful life skills....here are a few of them....

Faith

Divine Nature

Individual Worth

Knowledge

Choice and Accountability

Good Works

Integrity and

Virtue.

Oh my goodness!!  She is going to have so much fun!  

~TAYLOR, I am so very proud of you~

Ok, now this is why I haven't posted anything for a couple of days.  

Her is the card I made for her.

For this card, I used:

Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cart

Gypsy

Ribbon from Hobby Lobby

Crystal Embossing Powder

Swiss Dots Embossing Folder

This coupon is for a Shopping Spree with DAD!
