I am just so thrilled to have been invited to be a guest designer for the Sketch Challenge team. It's always so fun to be included with such amazing artists!
Lisa's sketch for today was perfect for a quilty background for these cute sewing critters. The only problem is--they cover up the oval shape! But my friend asked me to make an 80th birthday card for someone who loves to sew. How could I not use this stamp? I didn't have room on the front of this card for an "80", but it says "Happy 80th birthday" inside. And isn't this PTI sentiment just wonderful and perfect for this card?

Jennifer, this is just DARLING! Love not only the sentiment, but the darling little house mice, your lovely coloring, and the quilted parts of your mitered BG pattern! Your dsp is perfect with the pin cushion, the kitty "chair"(?), plus the thread and yarn colors. CUTE, cute!
