Birthday wishes

...sorry my post titles haven't been very interesting lately - it's hard to keep thinking up new, fun ones! ;)

A little something I made for this weeks Waltzingmouse sketch challenge - I haven't played along with one of their fun sketches in awhile, and Sarah Martina's fabby sketch finally gave me the push I needed. I have to admit, ever since the 2 Sketches 4 You challenges (which I loved) closed, I was pretty bummed. Then I discovered the Waltzingmouse challenges - now my favorite place to find sketches! :)
So I was a little loose with the sketch this time, but still had lots of fun! Thanks to the Mischief Makers for the inspiration and sketch!

Trying to use up these flowers I got from Michaels to use on the bridesmaids headpieces for my sisters wedding back in July - I removed the center of the flower and replaced it with an orange mini rose.

Oh, and I have to say - I got the banner idea from the PTI die that was released recently.

Wow, I feel like I haven't used my good ol' Martha Stewart butterfly punch in a looooong time (the card I last posted I made a couple months back, so yes, it's been a while!)

Anyways, I gotta dash - making school preparations, getting ready for a volleyball scrimmage tonight, gotta try getting some stuff out in the mail, and then tomorrow, off to Scranton to take my younger brother to his new high school! Only gonna be five of us at home, which seems soooo small after eleven. :(

Thanks so much for dropping in - I really appreciate your kind words, and once I get a little more time, I'll be sure to return the favor! :)
