Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Papertrey Ink!!! Happy Birthday to YOU!
Today is all about sending Birthday wishes to Papertrey Ink and their AMAZING warehouse support staff.

My birthday card is stamped with the Doodlie-Do stamp set and colored with Faber-Castell water color pencils. I love these pencils because it is so much fun to color your design and then using a damp brush blend the colors and make the pencil lines disappear.
