Daydream Medallions and Bird Punch

I've been playing with stamp sets that can be used as Xmas stamps.
I've used Daydream Medallion and the bird punch, haven't used that for awhile.
Gumball Green and Real Red card stock and ink.
The greeting is out of a new set I'm yet to play with, Happy Hour.
I cased this card and I'll need to look up the lady's name again, and then I'll post it here.

Daydream medallion - 16th Birthday Card

This is the card I've made for Olivia for her 16th birthday which is today. (I cased this card from www.pattisstampingstudio.blogspot.com)
Livy is my harshess critic of my cards, telling me if something is crooked or not centred. So you can I imagine the pressure I feel making her card each year. I have studied my card intensely and I think it is fault free!
Olivia has had a busy and exciting week. She auditioned for a full time selective ballet school - Tanya Pearson Classical Coaching Academy on Monday and has been accepted into the full time programme for 2014. She did her Advanced 1 ballet exam at the RAD at Darlinghurst on Wednesday. We are so proud of her and her achievements, she has worked so hard to make her dreams turn into reality. Still a long way to go but she is happy to work hard and keep pursuing them.
Happy Birthday Livy, have a lovely day.

Swimming with the Dolphins

It was the best time, tiring, exhausting but lots of memorable moments with Livy. We saw lots of sights and well known landmarks. Livy got to do her dance classes at Steps on Broadway, Broadway Dance Centre, Alvin Ailey Dance Company and the New York Ballet Company. Her dancing dream is alive and well and we continue along the dream of becoming a full time ballerina with a dance company somewhere in the world.
