N@ has such a cool way to stretch our design brains, doesn't she?
I had a fun little 'experiment' sitting on my craft table … turns out, it was a pretty cool beginning to my card for CTS #277!
I know that little balloon wasn't part of the Sketch... but come ON, we can't have a birthday without at least one!
I just know you'll have fun with this Sketch, and can't wait to see you all in our gallery!
