Card Recognition

happy....




I know it's Christmas and I'm making a birthday card, but... that's where my inspiration led me.  (Thanks ~amy~ for sending me down the path to Retro Sketches' latest challenge).  And while I started this card with one of the Basic Grey stickers in mind for the sketch, I ended up ignoring the circle on the sketch, be proud- literal girl over here is making progress.  I'm also playing along with the PTI Make It Monday A La Carte challenge for inlaid die cuts, which I didn't play along with when Betsy first did the video, but have used the technique since then (see last week's New Year's cards).   I've used PTI dies (One Liners, Beautiful Beads), Basic Grey Knee Highs and PTI Big Birthday Wishes.  Have a merry, merry Christmas, I'm just eagerly awaiting those little people, the light in their eyes with the holidays is what being a parent is all about.
