"Eas-elly" the perfect birthday card! Sherri Baldy's New Peek-a-boo image

When i first saw this Sherri Baldy My Besties image i instantly knew i wanted to make this type of card!  I have had this Easel die from My Favorite Things and this was perfect!  The balloons also come from My Favorite Things!

Here you are..this would also make an adorable teacher's gift sitting on her desk!

I purposely colored up her hair bow so that she would match with any color.

This image is available as a black and white digi called Peek-a-boo Wink here  OR

Sherri Baldy's My Besties- Time for your Birthday!

I decided at the last minute to create this card for a challenge over at My Besties French challenge.  It really is a wonderful challenge and not much time left! 

Think Red, White and Blue or nautical..perfect color combinations! 

Here is a card using a My Besties image Letter M.

I know you might be wondering about the image called the Letter M.  I used everything but the letter M. :)  She is so darling and the flowers that came on the letter M accented the card so nicely. 

Image used: Letter M
