Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop


Good morning!  It's time for the September edition of Blast From the Past and this month's theme is Birth Day or Birthday.  I went with Birthday and this sweet cake from Make a Wish.  I stamped the image in Memento Rich Cocoa and then paper pieced it with papers from Lime Twist Out of the Blue by My Mind's Eye.  I used the challenge sketch created by Sankari Wegman.  I loved this sketch and I may have gone a little crazy with all the little elements, but you know, is a 6-year-old really going to care?!  haha!  I added some Clear Twinkles and Red Rhinestones to make the card more Bedazzled.  I think it turned out pretty cute.


Thanks for stopping by!
Karen
