a Happy Birthday to ME!!

Yep..today is my birthday (June 15). :-) Not that I'll be doing much today since DH is in Illinois and Alyssa is in San Antonio...it's just me and Kyleigh. Maybe I'll get a little cake or make some cookies for Kyleigh and I. hehe

Sonya and I were chatting and sharing pics on hello last night and she was showing me some LOs of her little boy with his stuffed doggie that he loves...reminded me of some recent pictures I took of Alyssa and her cat...and I just loved Sonya's LO. It was actually from an ad inspriation at DigiShoppe that Katy (PLucky) hosts, and I had also done it, but it was a bit different take than this. I really liked Sonya's so I created a pretty shameless lift of it! This was also my FIRST LO in PhotoShop...thus far I've only used PS for editing pictures and desgining papers. I couldn't have done this though without all of Sonya's help, and Kim C. as well! Kim and Sonya are always so kind, patient and helpful! I had also been looking through Fantacy's designs today to see what all she's been up too...I came across this kit, "Prettiful" that is just soooo girly and me and just had to have it. She is such a sweetie..she sent me the papers and I used them in this LO immediately! :-)
