Happy Birthday LeAnne!

This week at Merry Monday the challenge is not a Christmas card. This week
the challenge is Anything Goes Birthday in honor of LeAnne Pugliese who is
celebrating  her birthday this week.

Happy Birthday LeAnne!!


I combined the birthday challenge with the Simon Says Emboss It challenge...

I used a really cute circle embossing folder for the background and then swiped the
versamark ink pad across it purposely not covering the whole thing. I then used
some bridal white embossing powder to achieve the shiny look.

...and the CAS-ual Fridays TIC-TAC-TOE challenge. For this card I went 
diagonal - I used dots, white and sequins.


They're so many possibilities with the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge that I may just
have to play some more.

I'm also submitting this to Cards in Envy for their Happy Birthday To You challenge.
