A Card for Presley

It's been a hot summer and I haven't been spending too much time in my scrap cave since it's very hot upstairs.  I did find time to create this cute birthday card for my nephew, Presley using some of my favorite October Afternoon paper -- Cake Walk.


I am entering it into sketch challenge #34 at the Paper Girls Challenge Blog which you can find here:  http://thepapergirlschallenge.blogspot.com/2013/06/challenge-34.html


In addition to the Cakewalk paper and embellishments, I also used some cool chipboard stars from UmWow Studios, AC Thickers, Authentique letters and background paper from Echo Park.  I'm sure Presley will like the little raccoon.

Here's a photo of him. He lives in Ohio and we don't get to see him very often so I always try to make something special to send him for his birthday.  His birthday isn't until November so I better put this somewhere I won't forget -- that would be just like me to have it done this early and then not be able to find it come November.  Ha!
