A Sparkly Gift

Hi Everyone,
I hope your New Year is off to a great start!  I went back to work today after being on vacation since early December.  It was easier than I thought to get back out there, tomorrow will be the true test. :-D

I created this card for my niece, she's a teenager and I thought a critter card might be a little young for her so I decided to go with a nice gift image. 
I'm showing you two pictures because for some reason the main picture doesn't do the sparkle on this card justice, however a not so great photo of the card shows the sparkle just fine. 

 
This is the inside with the sentiment.  Isn't this stamp pretty...what fancy font!  It's a Close to My Heart stamp from their 4 My Friend stamp set.
~A couple of things~
I'm including the materials I used for my password keeper book at the bottom of this post. I didn't do that on the original post, sorry.
I will announce the winner of my Action Wobbles giveaway on Saturday, January 5, 2013.
Last but not least, thank you so much to my newest followers!! I really appreciate you joining me on my blogging journey!
 Well, that's going to do it for me today.  I'll be on bloggy visits tomorrow and back with the winner of the Action Wobbles on Saturday!

Have a great day!!

Your card with the pretty present is so sweet! I love glitter but I can never seem to capture it in a photo. I will have to try your two photo system! Cute idea. :)
