Elizabeth CASEd a card

Last night we were sitting on the sofa after everyone else had gone to bed.  Elizabeth and I were watching one of her DVR’ed episodes of Martha  Bakes (yes, really, my 8-year-old has us DVR cooking shows – three as a matter of fact).  Anyway, I was blog surfing and she glanced over at the computer. “Ooooh! Mommy, that card is PRETTY! Don’t you have that stamp? Can I make that card?”  It was Audrey’s card from the PTI Blog Hop (which is a beautiful card).  I told her I didn’t have a big scallop for her to use as the accent, but she could use my Martha Stewart Lattice Arch Punch if she wanted.  She did. 

So, I broke out all the stuff and stamped the Mehndi Medallion (aka “Best $5 Stamp Set ever!”) for her – then I tied the ribbon for her at the end.  Beyond that, she did it ALL (including finding my little bag of goodies from a PTI forum member and swiping a Tiny Tag…LOL).  I thought she CASEd Audrey pretty well!  Here she is with her card:

Umm...can I steal that little girl and bring her home with me. Cooking shows, she wants to stamp AND she is as cute as can be! Just go ahead and pack her up USPS Priority (I think it's a little cheaper than Express)...she and I will have grand time!
