MFT - SFYTT Sketch January 2011

Hello ~ 

I hope you all have had a bright and cheery 2011 so far. I love the new year, especially since in January I have a very special birthday to celebrate at the end of the month. My niece will be two years old on January 30th. It makes the long winter month go by much faster when there is special day to look forward to! So I will probably be in a Birthday-theme card-making mood all month. :-) 

My card for the day is a Birthday themed card (surprise!)....I used the MFT Pure Innocence Birthday stamp set for the image and sentiment. The dress and crown on the image is paper pieced (the Xyron Create-A-Sticker machine works great for paper-piecing cards like this ~ it's one of the crafting tools of mine that never leaves my craft desk). I used some pattern paper from SEI (Happy Day 6X6 collection ~ so adorable!) and some satin pink ribbon. 

This card was entered for two challenges: Crazy 4 Challenges (Celebrate) and I {heart}2 Stamp's Monthy Sketch Challenge (SFYTT-January 2011). I'm a little late on the MFT WSC for this past week (Party), but it would fit that challenge also :-) 

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday, thanks again for stopping by. :)

Hugs ~ LJ
