I love little girls all dressed up in pretty dresses and with hats. I never looked good in hats and was thrilled when my girls turned out and looked adorable, or at least I thought so! Jennifer and Nichole loved dresses, but Tiffany hated them. I don't think she minded the hat as much as the dress!

When I saw Kalie in Sunhat and Dress from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, I had to have her. Not so much for the cute hat and dress, but because of the cute hat, dress and the boots! Nichole used to love dresses but she had a bit of an impulsive, adventuresome side to her as well. I remember one Sunday she was all dressed up in her cute little light blue dress with all the ruffles on it and white tights. I ran upstairs to put my dress on for church. Mind you, it was only put the dress on, zip it up and go. But the time I had done that, she had put on her big black mud boots and went outside and was sitting in one of the flower barrels petting Rocky, our beautiful golden lab, and just as content as could be. Oh, I forgot to say that it had rained the night before! Needless to say, we were late for church but she was happy and so was Rocky!

Kalie's boots remind me of that sweet Sunday morning that I'll never forget. I colored her with copics and added a bit of Glossy Accents to her hat. My background paper is done using the Crinkled Chalk technique that Danni presented yesterday on our Design Team Blog. I think it came out pretty great! I used red, orange and yellow as my colors and felt pretty good about it! I tried to keep her simple and added a border using my MS edger and added a thin white ribbon and Oyster Bella Baubles to her. The Sentiment is from a CTMH set my son-in-law, Christopher, got for me for Christmas called "The Simple Life". I love how she came out!

I'm trying to keep things simple in my life right now, like so many other people are. But this adorable stamp made me smile and brought back such a precious memory to me that I had to have her! Enjoy the simple things in life. They're priceless.
