Birthday Wishes

How does one chose between the hundreds of awesome bestiees that are created in the besties studio every day.  they are all so adorable, they make you smile from ear to ear. 

Since it is gardening season, I thought this was a perfect image for a Birthday Card. 

Do you ever have one of those days when nothing goes your way?  And when I say nothing, I mean nothing in relation to the project you are working on at the time. 

While creating this card, I had so many great ideas I wanted to try and use, and one by one by one, they all went by the way side.  Nothing, nada, zippo, seemed to go right for me while creating this card.  

A few little mistakes in coloring can be easily covered up, right?  But it seems like it is the embellishments that always cause problems for me.  I tried multiple different flourishes, I tried swirls, I even dug out the pretty lace doilies and I could not get anything to work my way. 

This is the result of a day full of struggles . . . I hope you like it!
