A birthday card for one of my daughters and playing along with the sketch challenge... I'm attempting to be MUCH better about using things up this year, so I've used some hoarded paper, buttons and brads. I used wire cutters to snip the "legs" off the brads and stuck them on with glue dots, mostly because I didn't think of them until after the card was assembled, but I may do it on purpose from now on - much easier than poking holes!

Great idea for attaching the brads, I will have to remember that when I have too many layers to poke through! Beautiful card and great job with your stash!

Think I may have to hunt that stamp down. I have a sister in law that loves pigs. Your colors, papers, and sentiment just make this totally delightful.

Your paper looks great with your cute image! Adorable card! Several of us are doing the same, using up paper we had in our stach for awhile!
Glad to see you back in the gallery!

An adorable way to say "Happy Birthday"! Darling card with the sketch(like the softened rectangle) and all the gifts and gift-bearers. Cute combination of dotted and floral DPs.

Super cute image and perfect for a birthday. Love your vivid fun colors and added brads. You could try using an ice pick to make holes! (Just kidding) I like your idea better
