Chevrons are everywhere these days.  I took a break from Christmas Cards on Sunday to create this Birthday card full of chevrons when I saw the sketch from Friday Mashup .  I chose to go mostly black and white with just a splash of aqua dots on my card.  I used a variety of stamps on my card: Holiday Tags (D1560) for the Happy Birthday.  The frame was cut with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge. One Way Borders (C1561) for the chevron border Artiste Cricut Collection - (Z1790) for the pinwheel Other items used: For Always Paper - X7165B Black Cardstock - 1386 White Cardstock - 1385 Black Baker's Twine - Baker's Twine Neutral Assortment - Z1701 Aqua Dots - Z1853 Black Ink - Z2105            Holiday Tags One Way Borders Friday Mashup Sketch       I'm also entering this card into Crazy 4 Challenges - Use Black & White with a Splash of color.

It's been a BUSY week and I'm just now getting around to posting this Birthday Card I created using sketch from Retro Sketches.    I actually made the card on Monday night but I haven't had time to post and here we are one day away from the deadline. It was my Boss's birthday on Wednesday and when everyone around knows you love to make cards, they call upon you to create a card for the Boss!   That's ok - they know I love it and I'm really honored that I'm asked.  I guess if they didn't like what I create they wouldn't ask me.  :)  Plus, it's alot more fun to create when I'm doing it for a particular person!   I saw the sketch over at Retro Sketches on Saturday and knew it was one I wanted to try out. So when I was asked to make a Birthday Card I knew exactly which sketch I would use! I used the Babycakes paper for this card - something about polka dots makes me think "Birthday".
