December Birthday...Verve November Diva Dare: Shape Up

Happy Thanksgiving Eve to my US visitors, and Happy Wednesday evening to everyone, in general.

Because I know so many of you are busy preparing for Thanksgiving celebrations, I'll pop in...and out...with a quick post and share.  Kind of a 'craft and dash'..

My mother-in-law's birthday is in December, so I decided to create a birthday card with some Christmas flavour, just to see...

This one is heading to Verve November Diva Dare: Shape Up challenge, where we're invited to create a card using a "common" shape: squares, circles, hearts, stars...So many possibilities, and if you check out the entries, as well as the Diva's cards shared over the past several days, you will be 'wow-ed,' guaranteed!.

My sketch inspiration is from Mojo Monday #320, that I missed playing with when it was 'live' but that's okay: it's timeless.


Verve hearts, banner and sentiment...

Thanks so much for dropping by; your visits and comments brighten my day!

    Gorgeous! The three red hearts and the green banners mimic each other's design perfectly and create beautiful symmetry! Lovin' the DP too!

    Now about the STUNNING white embossed panel....WOW! Is that an embossing folder or is it textured paper! Gotta know cuz I gotta get me some of "it".
