Exactly 16 years ago today the world became a better place for me and so many others that have been touched by my beautiful daughter Brooklyn. At 2 1/2 months old we almost lost her as she had pneumonia and went into congestive heart failure. A touch and go few days and a five hour surgery brought her back to us. For this week's Muse challenge, I used the layout of Laurie`s inspiration to create a birthday card for my baby girl in her favourite colours.
Happy Birthday Brooklyn!
