Happy Birthday little man...

'Extreme' provided by The Paper Shelter
 I have to laugh at myself - sometimes I want so badly to create outside the 'box' - [the confinements of the basic card shapes]... but then I gotta make an envelope to fit it!  Just sayin'.
So here I am using the wonderful sentiment that Marie-Clare is providing as a 'Freebie' at Aud Sentiments.  I love this positive affirmation for my little people - and for a couple of my big people too!  Combined with this fun image from the Paper Shelter, I have a perfect card for my "little man".
This card was created for the new Challenge #106 at Aud Sentiments - the theme is to "Use a Sentiment for a Child".  The Sponsor this go around is The Paper Shelter and they are providing a $20 Gift Certificate to the winner!  Click on over to Aud Sentiments - grab one of the two great sentiments Marie-Clare has offered as Freebies - check out the great samples from the designers and get your entry in ASAP!  You have till May 19 to enter up to 5 projects.

  13. I know exactly how you feel about creating different shaped cards and thinking, 'how am I going to post it???' No easy solution! The background papers really make the colours on your image pop out, so bright and cheerful. Thank you for joining us at OSAAT. Jennie x
