Birthday Blessings for Sarah
Today I'm honored to be participating in a special blog hop to help Sarah (aka MustangSarah) celebrate both her birthday and her blog anniversary! She's put together a fantastic sketch challenge and we're inviting all of your to join in the fun! All the details and prize info (woohoo!) are posted on Sarah's blog!
Here's the sketch:
Fun one, huh? For my card, I combined stamps from Verve's Stamp of the Month**, Blessings, with some new Reflections designer paper from Prima. (The Reflections paper pad arrived in yesterday's mail and I think it sat for all of five minutes before I tore into it!) Accents include crinkled seam binding, some gorgeous mother of pearl buttons that I found at Pizzazz Aplenty, a punched butterfly, stitching, scallops, and Kaisercraft pearls.
**During the month of March, enjoy 30% savings on Blessings!
