Hi ya Friends!
This is a card that was never meant to be. The image was supposed to be headed for the round file (a.k.a trash can :), but there's a little story I have to share that made me change my mind. One night, I was in bed practicing my coloring when my oldest son walks in and asks, "Mom, are you coloring a picture of yourself when you were little?" To which I said, "Whaaat? This is a stamp, not me!" & then I thought- Hey, maybe this kinda does look a little like me when I was little. Well... you decide. Am I a Tilda or what???
Here's the card I eventually made with the Tilda image:
Here's mini-me (at about 4 years old).
BTW, I still look this cuuuute! (hee hee!) So what do ya think? Tilda... with chubby lips?
So after all of this I just couldn't round file her :(
I used this Magnolia Sketch for my card:
Thanks for peekin'! I'm wiped out so I'm calling it a day. Nighty night.
Gotta go!

What a very cute card and I'm so glad you didn't bin it, your son was right to make you finish it :) And very cute photo of you!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh Karli what an adorable card. I agree I'm glad you didn't throw it away. Hmmm resemblence??? The childhood pic is adorable too!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card, definately not worthy of the trash can. Kids definately call 'em like they see 'em and I agree there is a resemblance. Of course the photo of mini Karli is much cuter than a stamped image ;)
ReplyDeleteOH my this is so cute! Yep I see a resemblance.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Glitterbee love!
Hi Karli,
