I started this card yesterday for the Sketch Challenge but never had a chance to get it all glued together. Imagine my surpise when I found out Julia had stars included in the Ways To Use It Challenge - horray - 2 for 1!!
I'm going to use this for Amelia Birthday and write a little something about the excitement and love that was present the day she was born. There is something about the birth of a grandchild that can't be explained. If you've experience it you know what I mean.
I used the new Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month - for more on that check out my blog - but what I like is the versatility of the set. I knew I could use it on a scrapped page with no problem but how to get it on a card was the challenge.
I also just had to use the background paper that I used for my photo of my "Meow" card - I love that paper packet!!

WOW! This is really neat looking. I like the idea of the calender and the day circled. Love your stars too. A great memory.
