I wanted to share a creation I made for my daughter. My sweet girl will be 11 years old tomorrow....WOW where does the time go??? She is at the pre-teen stage where I had to think hard on what to make her. So I decided to go with this cute darling Inky girl, Fairy LiLi. I wanted to make her something hip but pretty!!! Her Favorite stamp company are these sweet girls, so I just knew I had to use one of these cuties!!! I also made her a tin full of her favorite chocolates!! I just LOVE these tins you can find at your local Target, they are only $1.oo and I have them in SOOO many colors and styles....They are just perfect to grab and make a cute little gift for someone!!! Hope you enjoy my creation today and I hope she just loves it!!!

Happy Birthday to your DD!!! Very cute! I love that you used black with a fairy image...hadn't thought of that but it does keep it "hip" and not too little girlish. Love it! PS: My DD is 11 too!
