happy birthday you ~ BLD56

Today we have  a fun challenge for you over at By LORi Designs! We want to see washi tape on your card. If you are like me you probably have at least one roll if not 75 rolls of washi tape sitting on your desk.

For my card I used this great birthday cake image as I thought about the colors of my washi and figured the cake would look good in those same colors.


I hope you will play along with us in our "washi" challenge.

MM71 ~ Merry Christmas

Monday and time for a new sketch from Lesley over at Always Playing with Paper. I must admit this one was a little tricky and I saved it for last. I kept trying to decide what to use for the circles across the top. I started with snowflakes and then thought about buttons and in the end I just went with circles like the sketch shows.


For my card, once again I have used the City Sidewalks collection by Pink Paislee. I liked it because the ephemera pack came with all these different sized circles.


I can't wait to see what the rest of the design team does with this sketch. Make sure you stop over at the blog and see what the rest of the Merry Monday girls have created.
