happy birthday...

Hello and Welcome to the Skipping Stones Design Sketch Challenge!  Gotta love our Guest Sketch Artist for August, Teri Anderson.....she's fabulous:


I did ponder this sketch for a smidge and was going to cut into patterned paper and do some layering until I thought:  Doilies!

Wondering what Skipping Stones Design set I used:


You won't wanna miss the fabbie goodness from the other gals on the Skipping Stones Design Team:
