Hello blogging friends! Have you have been enjoying the sneak peeks of the Riley and company upcoming new stamp release?! He is such a cutie pie and I'm delighted to share another new Riley stamp - King Riley :)
This royal card *smile!* will be heading to a special friend of my daughter. If you've read my blog for awhile now, you might remember my daughter was chosen to be Belle in the a stage production of Beauty and the Beast. She rehearsed and sang and danced with friends old and new all summer long and in the end, grew very close to the boy who played The Prince (non-Beast version, there were two different boys who played the part ... one was Beast, one was The Prince.) They became fast friends for two young people that just met. She ended up going to High School in the same performing arts academy with the boy who played The Beast but didn't know The Prince would also be there in a different academy and oh my! It made for a surprisingly happy first week of school :) They have spent all year getting closer and are now inseparable at school. I think they are both fighting trying to 'just be friends', but she isn't allowed to date yet at 15. They do go out now as a group and we find him to be just a delightful boy. Even though he's allowed to date, and they are only a month apart in age, he told her that he would wait for her - however long it takes, he would be waiting. And he has. All year! Bless his heart!

Big Hugs,

ReplyDeleteSuch sweet love story ready to blossom...I fell in luv with the charming boy too...*wink*
*Love is Patient....*
I love the card and have loved all the new images! What a great story, thanks for sharing that. That sounds like a great guy. Seems like a great lesson on being respected for your daughter. And you have to like a guy that is willing to respect your guidelines too!!
ReplyDeleteAh, Kelly, not only is this little Riley adorable, but the story behind your creation is just fantastic! I know your daughters "friend" will love love this! So cute.

How special this card is!! Wow, your daughter is so lucky to have such a creative mom!! Not everyone can come up with something so personal and fitting as this cute card!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is sweeter, the card or the story! Love the line inside the card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lesson in patience and a chance to see the true character of her friend! Our oldest DD is 13 and has friends who 'date'. Thankfully, she is very understanding of our 'too young to date' rule (or at least for now she is...)
What a lovely story Kelly. Taking it slow is such a ood idea. I am sure your daughters Prince will get a kick out of your very regal card too!
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly, What a sweet story! Patience is one of those lessons in life that is never easy!
ReplyDeleteYour Riley is darling! Fun inside too, and a great color combination!

ReplyDeleteWell, now that is the kind of boy you can be happy about (eventually) dating your DD :) Your card is just perfect for him, with the image and the colors and of course your amazing layers, you do this so well. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteOh, Kelly, what a lovely story about your own Belle and her Prince! The card with Riley as the Beast is absolutely perfect reflection of this story. Great use of colors and scrap d.p.!! Love the sentiment inside! Just beautiful!!!
