Teens and Pre-teens have it tough nowadays, don't they?
Good gravy, not only are they bullied ... but NOW it spreads viral.
I had Cyndi Lauper's tribute as a teen.
Boy, did this song oooze with therapy for me!
My girlies' generation have songs like Britt Nicole's "Headphones;"
she also sings encouragement into their souls(and mine for that matter).
Kids need to hear that they are awesome and accepted, you know?
I followed the maze of white from my favorite design in Basic Grey's Lauderdale pack~which left a cool and free result.
I fussy cut the kiss and sentiment "true colors"; then I embossed with my favorite embossing folder to press in the raw edges.
Placing the folder at an angle...I was careful to roll it through my Big Shot and spring back. I did not follow through all the way, because it would have cracked a corner off of the folder.
Fantastic colors and a celebration at the
Wooo hooo! It's their 3Yr Anniversary!
Have a blessed day~

ReplyDeleteps....I'm sad for kids these days! I cannot believe what they have to endure--I remember being made fun of as a kid, but nothing like what happens now. LOOOOOVE Britt Nicole's song Headphones:)
ReplyDeleteI hate to say this, but the way things are now in the world---makes me not want to have kids.
And I hate to say this--but parents also need to show affection and love and acceptance towards their kids. Unfortunately, I was abused emotionally, verbally, physically, and so much more in my OWN family. So sad!
