Happy Saturday everyone, fed up with the snow, yep me too! Well it's my  Jamie's 19th today ( I blogged his card last week) and the first Birthday where I wont see him, of course that doesn't bother him but seems very strange to me, I really do not know where those years have gone and I am starting to feel old LOL!

right so onto me little card for today and I have decided this year to try different styles otherwise it all gets a bit samey (is that a word) and in an attempt to keep costs downs I am going for the less embellished look     ( only now and again mind).  I have been oggling the girls cards over at MFT and am very taken with the designs, what better way to get started then with a nice easy sketch too!  I have used a Pure Innocence digi and my fav Glitz paper pad!
