Simple Thoughts of Birthdays

This is for today's SKETCH AND STASH CHALLENGE. I love this layout, it is soo me. I also used 3 brads, 1 flower and 1 dp for THE PINK ELEPHANT - Recipe Challenge. I placed a brad on each end of my ribbon and in the center of my flower. The sentiment I used is from an acrylic set I picked up at HL months ago and am now just using. It is stamped in so saffron on white then matted on so saffron. I used close to cocoa for my base layer and the dp is from DCWV Glitter Matt Pack. I found this gorgeous design called MOD MARTINI from Saturday's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE - Heavenly Hostess'. This is also for Sunday's FEATURED STAMPER - VA Sunshine. Teresa is not only talented but a sweet heart to boot and I just could not let her special day go by without paying my respects to her. Congrats to ya girlie. I changed the layout, colors and shape of my focal image. Her gallery is packed full of flowers and she uses sentiments for her focal images a lot which is what I wished I could do so I am trying. I am finally rested up from CHA and was soo ready for today's TLC but will have to do after work since it is not up yet. Being ready to stamp I decided to search for some other challenges to do. Hope you like it. Let me know.
