Red Soldier Nutcrackers

This card is an ode to my darling, 16-year-old daughter, Amelia. She started taking dance lessons at the age of three. It has become her passion in life ... she even dances down the aisles at the grocery store!! She has been performing in Ballet West's Nutcracker for seven years running now (or should I say seven years dancing??). This year she is the Red Rifleman Soldier ... so this card is for her!! You go, girl!!

And it is also for today's Free for All Challenge over on SCS ... which, oddly enough, is entitled "Nutcracker Suite" ... (and I just used the cardstock that is currently sitting ALL over my table in various forms of unfinished family Christmas cards!!)
