Whimsy and Stars

Happy Tuesday! The weeks are flying by in the new year, I can't believe we are half way through January! I've got a sweet little birthday card to share today. I used the sweet little kitty image, Lilly's Cupcake, from Whimsy and Stars.

My sketch comes from Seize the Birthday, a new sketch challenge blog for birthday cards. I loved the sketch and wanted to try it out even though I missed the deadline. I'm trying to get a little box together to mail to OWH in January and thought this sketch would be perfect, CAS and not too many lumps and bumps.
