Happy Friday everyone and welcome to the weekend and enjoy it, they go way toooooooo fast.

The card that I am posting today is for another co-worker’s birthday.  Her and I have spent holidays together and quite enjoyed ourselves.  I created this card a couple of weeks ago, (trying to plan ahead) and it was based on Inspiration in Action IA 124 over at Gretchen Barron’s blog… www.gretchenbarron.typepad.com

Check out her site as she does beautiful work.
