Happy birthday today to my sister!  I won’t embarrass her by saying how old she is… but I have to say, no matter how old she gets, I’ll still be younger!  🙂

Today’s card is the one my family is sending her.  I used this week’s Lizzie Anne Designs sketch challenge for the layout.  The extra twist for the challenge was to use Nestabilities in a creative way to frame the main image.  Well, I don’t consider this to be particularly creative, but I used two different shapes – a petite oval for the image panel itself, layered on one of the shapes from the Labels Six dies.  I made this card 5.5″ square to accommodate the Nesties and the sentiment.  The sentiment stamp is actually set up in one long line, but I broke up the sentences into two lines.

I hope my sister enjoys a day as special as she is (and I don’t mean “special” in the short bus way)!
