Ema is six...whoa...six

When did that happen?

All of a sudden my little girl is six. Ready for grade one. Kind. Sweet. Creative.

Yesterday was her party but today is her actual birthday. Little does she know that tonight she will be seeing Justin Bieber in concert in London, ON...floor seats none the less. I am planning on picking up some ear plugs for us both since there is a high chance of screaming girls.

Here is a photo of her "Mermaid Party" table just before the guests arrived. Note the self-trimmed bangs which she lopped off at the end of June. Sadly they aren't growing as fast as I would like.

Supplies for "Sebastian" Place Holders: Core'dinations cardstock (Poinsettia red), Fiskars circle punch, Glue Dots, other: googlie eyes, pipecleaner, deckle edge scissors, and red plastic bowls.

And a birthday would not be complete without a birthday card that took me about an hour to make.

Supplies: Core'dinations cardstock, Jillibean Soup kraft paper and corrugated number, My Mind's Eye patterned paper and diecuts, Fiskars "Everywhere Punch" (scalloped circle), Creative Memories circle cutter, Spellbinders butterfly die, Marvy butterfly punch, Queen & Co. pearl gems, Making Memories sanding block, Prima flowers, Maya Road trinket pins, Glue Arts layering tape and adhesives, Glue Dots (to adhere flowers to pins), other: sewing machine and thread.
