Happy Birthday, Friend...

Hello!  I need to make a card for my friend's birthday that is coming up next week.  I'm so thankful for my Birthday Calendar reminder in Facebook or else no one would be getting cards from me.  Anyway, I just wanted to sit down and dream up a fabulous card, but I couldn't get the Mojo Monday sketch out of my head.  I disregarded it when I saw it this morning since it had that one crooked panel, and you know I just can't deal with that.  So, I decided to make that panel straight.  I don't think I'll get arrested by the sketch police.

I'm trying to use up some older patterned paper to make room for new ones.  I absolutely love Indian Summer by Basic Grey.  Somehow it was pushed aside for bigger and better things.  This is an older collection but Paper Maniac still has 6 x 6 pads and coordinating embellies.

Here's a close up to show you all the lovely layers and dimension.

I hope you all have a great day!  My kids are off school tomorrow for election day here in KY.  So, I'm sleeping in and hope to have a card to share will you all in the afternoon.  Thanks for stopping by!!!
