Ballerina Girl

Hello everyone.. I’m home today with my daughter Tyla, She rarely gets sick, she’s had perfect attendance for 2 yrs in a row. Today I had to make a mommy call and tell her she needed to stay home, because she was running a temp of 101. She was so bummed. At least she likes school :) Well, I figured since I have a little time to spare I’d enter in some challenges. This card is so girly. It was really my childhood dream to be a pro ballerina and open my own ballet studio. I danced for about 3 years from the time I was in 4-7th grade. I even went as far as dancing in Pro Toe shoes. I stopped for 2 reasons. I knew money was tight for my single dad who was raising me alone, and also I wanted to try out for cheerleading my 8th grade year. Still for the time I danced, I loved it. And It totally tugs at my heart strings when I see a little girls in tights and tutus.

These are the challenges I am entering in:

Simon says stamp – Coffee & Cream

Magnolia-licious – Brown & Pink

Paperpretties – Glittery challenge (glittery crown)

ResQ – Something that makes you happy (childhood dancer)

Myshericrafts – All about girls

PIO – Childhood dreams

party time tuesdays – anything goes

    A beautiful card. Tilda is stunning.

    Such a sweet story in your post. Your card is very pretty. I love the way you adorned the tiara and her dress bodice. The ribbons on the side remind me of ballet slippers. Great job! Thanks for participating in the Magnolia-licious inspiration challenge. LindaC

    Hi Angela, so sorry your little one was home sick. Hopefully it was just a short-lived bug! I love your story about taking ballet when you were young. I did too...but never made it to "toe shoes"!! (It makes my toes hurt just thinking about those things! LOL) Your card is just so dang cute! I love the design...and the sparkles and DPs just beautifully showcase this gorgeous little Tilda!! Love your soft colors! Thanks so much for joining us for tis month's Inspiration Challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog! Pat Frank
