Challenge: Got Sketch Butterfly

My dear friend Melina has always been there for me.... and this week she invited me to do an online challenge with her. It gave a nice kick in the pants I did not know I needed. The sketch was from Got Sketch. As far as the sentiment I could not come up with one that I liked.

WW: Owl of a birthday

For the first wonderful wednesday of the year, I decided to create something extra special. This card showcases the new designer hardware (HOORAY) and the Raspberry Tart designer series paper offered by Stampin Up. Another of my favorite things to use are Heidi Swapp's silhouette stickers. They look SO striking on this black fold over black card by POSH limited. I have been a huge Dee Gruenig fan ever since I saw her cheery segment on the Carol Duvall show.

Sneak peek: Hooray

This is a special birthday card I created with Stampin Up's new Raspberry Tart designer series paper. It is so YUMMY!
