Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #36

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year and all the best in 2014!  

This week's sketch was a blast to work with.  I am definitely ready to start creating projects other than Christmas cards!  Here was this week's sketch:

 Again, I am back to my favorite October Afternoon products!  I chose to work with the Midway collection and added in some Sahara Sand and Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock from Stampin' Up!.  The Kraft card base is from Close to My Heart.  The "Happy Birthday " sentiment is also from Stampin' Up! (Teeny Tiny Wishes - one of my all time favorite stampsets).  I hope you enjoy!

Here is my finished creation: 

 

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge is also looking for new Design Team Members for our next session!  Check out the blog if you think you would like to join us.

I plan to start blogging weekly (as time allows of course!) in the New Year.  I hope everyone keeps following along and entering over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! 

See you in 2014!
