Happy Birthday, Jamie!

My pal Jamie recently turned a...uh...landmark age. ^_^ So I made her this birthday card of a girl holding a ginormous present because a girl deserves a big gift for turning a landmark age! (Jamie, feel free to forward this post to K in case he needs hints, hehe...)

This is another MFT set that I totally love. It was a little bit of a pain to paper-piece b/c of her hands that are on the present. So I had to stamp her hands on plain white paper, color them in, cut them out, and then glue the tiny hands on the present. But it was well worth the effort b/c if you can't see her hands, then it just looks like a walking present.

I'm on a Cosmo Cricket design paper kick, can you tell? I looove it. It forces me to use color combinations that I don't normally go for. I'm more into pink/green or blue/brown, so this stoplight color palette is quite unusual for me. But I'm diggin' it...
