i {heart} sketches 48

Well, it's Monday again so you know what that means -

another weekly sketch challenge @ FTHS!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!! Up here in the Midwest we are experiencing bitterly cold temps. Our high temp today is suppose to -10 degrees. Yes....the high temp is a MINUS 10 degrees brrrrrrr!!! Most all of the area schools are closed as well as other events scheduled for later in the day.

 

Well, its a good day to "cuddle up" to the computer and check out some of the wonderful cards the DT has created for you this week.

 

Sketch 48

 

Here is my take on the sketch

 

 

 

I really like the colorful papers in this 6x6 paper stack. They are so much fun!!

And I created my own background by stamping "Happy Birthday" directly onto the kraft cardstock. I really didn't want to add another layer of paper, as I thought it would take away from the wonderful sketch.
