It’s been a very long and tiring week for me. However, I did manage to make time to create a birthday card for a longtime family friend of ours. How long is “longtime”? Well, I knew her parents before they had any children. I used to babysit her when I was a teenager, and then she used to babysit my boys. Now she’s married and become just a really delightful adult. I wish her all the best!
Here’s her birthday card. I used Lizzie Anne Designs‘ weekly sketch #78 for the layout and their Party Animals set for the stamps. The “extra twist” to the challenge was to go eclectic – so I used colors that I wouldn’t normally put together, which just happened to be the weekly color challenge at Splitcoaststampers this week! Also, I used VersaMark to stamp a squiggly design on the green square. I usually don’t think about stamping on designer paper.
