I saw this idea on a blog that I visit quite often and knew that I wanted to give it a try and make something special for my niece who will have her first day of junior kindergarten tomorrow.  Here's a link to Ellen Kemper's school girl, but I know you'll want to check out the other beautiful creations that she has designed.  Wow! 

Anyway, I'm so pleased with the way that it turned out and resembles Ava, and hope that she likes it.  It made me realize just how many punches I have and how I need to pull them out more often to see what I can come up with. 

Here's what the final card looked like.  I just added it to a Melon Mambo card front and added a piece of retired DSP behind to make the punch art stand out.
