Purple Birthday Wishes

So yesterday I received an email from my friend Betty saying that Melanie had a challenge on her blog to make a card using the scraps that are laying around on your desk.  Now almost any other day of the year this would not be a problem for me as I tend to be a messy stamper, but I had cleaned my stamp room the night before!  What spurred me in to cleaning is that Theresa is coming over this weekend and we love to stamp together so I needed to make some room for her to work.  It is a good thing I almost never throw out any scraps that are of any size at all.  So I went through what I had and found this stamped image already completed so I just needed to make it into a card.  I did cheat just a little, the patterned paper is new, I just got my order with this new wonderful Basic Grey paper, Kioshi and I had to use it when I was working with purple!  I also worked in the sketch challenge on StampTV.  Thank you for stopping by.


Card Details

    I've been having trouble getting comments to post, so if this shows up twice, forgive me! I love the purples in your card -- bet Tina will too! I know you are Theresa are going to have fun together this weekend -- stamping and giggling just like when you were little (or did you fight all the time???)

    That is so pretty! Love the purples. The cuttlebug folder is nice, I like the textured look it gives. And your coloring is gorgeous as usual :-)
    I've missed a few of your posts, I'll need to play catch up. I've been "preoccupied" with life.
