So, our heroine Lily had made undertaken some serious preparations and was more than ready for her close-up. She had gotten all shimmery and shiny, grabbed her flower and tiny heart, and printed up her sentiment before striking a pose. Then came photo-bomber Phido... just having to steal Lily's thunder. But Lily, being the sweet girl that she is, chose to not crop out Phido... and even changed the sentiment to accommodate his appearance.

Lily and Phido will probably find their way into my next SAS4Kids shipment to Nationwide Children's.  :)

This card was inspired by the Simon Says Stamp Animal Magic and the Shopping Our Stash Let Me Take a Selfie Challenges. In addition, I'm going to link this up to the Paper Smooches Layers Challenge and the Paper Smooches August Guest Designer Search. As I say every month, hope springs eternal!
