Happy Birthday...Seize the Sketch 20 31

Hi there! I'm so excited to share with you today that I have been invited to join the talented DT at the Seize The Sketch sketch challenge! Thank you so much Lesley for inviting me along! In case you are not familiar, Seize The Sketch is a bi-weekly sketch challenge site where all are welcome to play using ANY product of your choice. I hope you join along in the fun!

We will be celebrating Meredith's 17th birthday on Monday, May 19th so I made her a card for my sample:

I combined a stamped label and sentiment from Vintage Frames along with beautiful patterned papers from the Pion design Flower Frames collection:

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to visit the Seize The Sketch site for some fabulous inspiration from the DT.
Be Sweet ;)

You made me add the vintage frames to my wishlist & I need to try making more rolled roses with paper instead of just felt. Thanks for your unending inspiration, Mona!; Reply May 13, 2014 at 4:44 PM
