Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I have a birthday card to share with you today. I made it for the challenge at Late Night Stampers yahoo group. You were to create a birthday card. There were no other specifications so I decided to use the sketch challenge on Tracy’s Eat Sleep Stamp blog.

I spent a little time on Monday in my craft room (still digging out in between also) and did 2 sketch challenges.

While looking at my challenge blogs, I ran across a challenge at the Creative Belli blog to use Christmas Themed embellishments on your card. I bought this ribbon because I thought it would be so pretty on a Christmas card. I also knew it would match our Bravo Burgundy. I also saw a themed challenge on the Pals Paper Arts blog where you were to create a project for Christmas Cheer. I felt this ribbon…
