the I used Tim Holtz Pealed Paint and inked the exposed portion of the card

I stamped Happy Birthday with Momento Tuxedo Black ink

Add a paper flower from Walk in my Garden I made in 2010 for my Halloween cards

topped it with a turquoise button

Hi Everyone hope everyone is having a great weekend

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day car shopping

with my husband. As much as I love shopping 

Shopping for cars is like fingernails on a blackboard for me.Just dread it!

 Okay enough about that trying to get back on Blog track today. 

So for my normal weekly challenge I entered the wrong ending date 

Saturday March 3rd at 5 O'clock 

But I used random.org on Friday and the winner was
