Happy Birthday





I got a brand new die in the mail today, and when I saw that die and this card by my friend Cathy, I knew I needed to play along with this week's Card Patterns Sketch #153.  I've never played with Card Patterns Sketches before, but today seemed as good a day as any to start.  I'm also playing along with this week's Less is More Challenge #55 to use punches or die cuts, and this week's CAS-ual Friday's CFC#40:  Tie one On.

The other 'Joyce' on the PTI forum has suggested that we take a moment today to honor Nicole, Jenn and all the other folks behind the scenes at Papertrey.  This card is dedicated them, as they are responsible for every single element on this card except the die cut.  Now that I am thinking about it, I probably should have made this a 'thank you' card.  Oh, well--they all have birthdays, too--right?



Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Think Big Favorites
Paper:  White, Simply Chartreuse, Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores
Other:  Memory Box Piestra Die, Hawaiian Shores Button, Raspberry Fizz Saddle Stitch Ribbon
