Happy Birtday DD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
MARIEKE!!


Tomorrow my daughter is turning 19 years young!!!




Happy Birthday Dear Miekie..... 
I love you so much and you're a daughter any mother would wish for.
I'm glad and proud to be your mom.







And I just had to celebrate this with a card as well. But making the card was a real challenge. The school vacations are on here so she's home all day hanging around in the living room where I craft.
So I had to tell her to get out of the house so I could make her a suprise... LOL
She went doing shopping for yummie snacks tomorow and I got this card ready.
I have to be honest and tell you that a part of this card is scraplifted from the Whiff of Joy website. But it turned out different anyway. But the credit deserves to be on the lady who made the sample card.

Thanks for looking and leaving me a lovely compliment

A new challenge at Shelly's Images

There is a new challenge at
Shelly's Images!

Today I have the honor to host an new challenge at Shelly's Images 
This challenge is an anything goes with a celebration

The coming weeks for my family and friends is filled with birthday's and other celebrations.
Last night we had the graduation of my DS and that was such a great thing to be there.
I'm so proud and it's the end of a part of his life and he will start to make his first steps in college and internships... a new beginning.

So I made this challenge to be all about celebrations. From a new house, a new baby, a birthday, a graduation, a wedding or anything that just can be a celebration.

The card I made is a request from a friend. Her Aunt is going to be 80 years old and she lives in Friesland. That is a region in the top of my country. And each region over here has it's own flag.
So i choose the Flag Girl from Shelly's Images with the blank flag (that can be sent to you on request) and added the Friese Flag to it.


So I hope you will come over there and join us in this great happening and celebration week.
