Aileen told me that her daughter loves the color pink and purple so I used those colors to make this card. The image is from a retired Flourishes set called "Pinwheels and Popsicles", I stamped it onto a piece of pink card stock and colored it with my Prismacolor pencils. I made the shaker using the Cross Stitch die from Gina Marie Designs, the beads are from my local craft store, the sequences from SU, the pattern paper from Lili of the Valley (retired), ribbon from my bottomless ribbon drawer, I can't seem to make a dent, I'm not constantly buying so I guess I need to use it more.

Here is a picture of the finished inside. I apologize for writing a little message for Elysha before I took the picture, I was just so excited and eager to get this card in the mail ASAP. Aileen asked to write in big letters so that's what I did. The little dashing Hedgehog is from Penny Black, I stamped it masking the balloon and die cut my own in Elysha's favorite colors, I also colored this cute little guy with Prismacolor pencils.
The sentiment is from Power Poppy's Potted Primroses.
I would like to enter this card onto the following challenges.

Ohh Maria, this is so so perfect. She will be so excited when she opens this. I could not ask for a better friend Maria, she will be so very excited I can see those shaking hands and the glow of absolute pleasure on her face. You will make her day as you have mine xxxAileen
