The final fishy installment!

Today my little girl is a big 3 year old! She is currently sitting watching video of herself as a baby - I can't believe she was ever that small!

Yesterday we had her party, and she had a great time. You may remember these invites, and the little gifts for her guests that I shared here. Well I thought it only fair that I also share the birthday card I made her:

I had so much fun making this card, and really love the finished result. I used one of the cool new Sweet Treat Cups from the Summer Mini catalogue, along with it's co-ordinating stamp set. The rest of the card is put together using various punches. I filled the cup with coloured sugar crystals. Miss 3 LOVES her shaker card!

And totally un-related to stamping, but I thought you might also like to see the cake I made her, which finished off the whole party theme:

oh this card is so cute. I love making cards for kids that they can touch and feel like it belongs to them and not to the parents.
