I knew the moment I saw this week's sketch that I wanted to participate! Family stuff is first for sure, but I promised myself to get this one completed no matter how many 'sessions' I might need. ;) Yay!

Here's my Happy Birthday! submission!

What a nice sketch- I enjoyed doing this one especially because my 9 year old son sat right here with me and kept me in line with the sketch... if I strayed at all he'd stop me and remind me of where I was going wrong! I stamp with my daughter often, but it is rare for my son to want to join me so I really had a nice time!

Here are my cards:

I made another today, though I'm not liking the way I cropped the chick panel. I wanted it too look like she had room to fly forward and now it looks crowded. Anyone have any ideas how to salvage this card?
