Happy Birthday! {SC299}

Hi there!  I had a little stamping time last night and decided to try out yesterday's sketch from Splitcoaststampers.  It has been far too long since I've done a challenge on Splitcoast and I thought the sketch looked pretty interesting so I went for it!

I used the newest set in the Taylored Expressions Giving Tree Program, Make A Wish.  This stamp set is active in the TE Giving Tree program from September through November 2010 where TE donates $7.00 for each Make a Wish stamp set sold to a national children's charity.  I love that it's a charitable set, but it's also a FABULOUS birthday set!

The patterned paper is Cosmo Cricket Togetherness.  LOVE this collection of papers!  I die cut three balloons using the new Make a Wish Balloon dies that coordinate with Make A Wish using three different patterns.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut out with a Labels Trio die.  While it was still in the die I sponged some Riding Hood Red Ink around the edges.  The banner was also stamped in Riding Hood Red and cut out with scissors.  I added some Lippy Red adhesive gems to give the banner some interest.  The button and embroidery floss are from my stash.

That's all from me today! I'm gearing up for a HUGE Taylored Expressions release on October 7th!  The peeks start on the October 4th and you won't want to miss a thing!

Thanks for stopping by!
