FMS ~ Happy Birthday!

I couldn't let the big celebration at Freshly Made Sketches slip by without playing along. Sending a big congrats on 700 sketches to all of their design team members past and present! This is what I put together for them this week.

I die cut 4 stitched squares then snugged them all together in my Misti. I stamped this pretty PFS wreath using PTI's Simply Chartreuse ink. After adding them to my square card base, I put together a yummy little cupcake (PTI). A sweet striped wrapper and shimmery pink frosting were topped with a couple of bright pink blooms. After playing around with sentiment ideas, this tab from Memory Box seemed a good fit!


Here's my first time playing along at FMS back in Feb. 2012!


Thanks for stopping by to visit, it's greatly appreciated!

Wishing you all a blessed weekend!

Oh, my, this is pretty with the large wreath and cupcake. I love what you did with those squares! What fun to see your flashback card and sketch, too. Hard to believe that's 13 years ago already!

You have to know that I'd love a cupcake at your party and ours, too! Such a pretty one, too, nestled right smack dab in the middle of your wonderful wreath!
Check out those buttons and ribbons! What a darling little flower girl, Lisa!
Thanks so much for coming to our 14th birthday party!

What a pretty cupcake card with the wreath squares behind to draw attention. Not that the cutie cupcake couldn't do that on its own. ;0) How fun to see your first card for their challenge too. That's a long time to be playing along.
