SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ A SKETCH BY JO ANN


Welcome friends to a new Seize the Birthday Challenge!
 
JoAnn has a great sketch for us to play with for our birthday card challenge this time.
 
I couldn't resist this Kylee Boo stamp from Picket Fence.
My pattern paper is from LDRS Lovely Watercolor.
Thank you JoAnn for a fun sketch and helping me use up my BIG stash of PP!!
Now it is your turn to see what the design team has made for your inspiration and I hope to see you in the gallery with your birthday card!
If you don't like to follow a sketch, than any kind of birthday card is welcome!
