Dakota Birthday Greetings

With the release of the new 2012 CTMH Autumn/Winter Idea Book & Catalog on August 1st,

there is just so much fun new stuff to play with!

It's like Christmas in my studio....  ;)

Today I have a masculine birthday card to share with you all, created with some of the new products.

I loved this card made by Jackie Pedro, and re-created it with CTMH products.

I'm not sure if she used a sketch or came up with the design, but it's super cute!

And I love me a great sketch... this one will be going in my sketch book.  ;)

On my card, I used the new Dakota paper packet.  

I especially love the barn wood and houndstooth B&T papers in it.

Another new item I used is the Slate button and Slate cardstock, and of course the colour Slate... it's new, too! 

Before I go, I also want to mention that I have Blog Candy up for grabs (until August 10th).

Happy creating!  :)
