Under The Sea!

One of our eldest daughters favourite ever Disney movies is 'Little Mermaid' so when I saw Sassy Studio had made an Ariel image I just had to get her....

Our baby girl was 19 last week. Can't believe how quick the time has flown & she's off to South Wales Uni in September to study film & 3D animation.

It's also my DT creation for over at My Time To Craft this fortnight where the theme is...

GIRLIE

it doesn't have to be all pink & girlie, just made for a girl. Of course you can do pink & girlie. I was going to, but remembered I had to make a card for our Danni lol
