retrosketches #1: Wax Fruit Company

I almost missed a brand new sketch challenge that began last week and involves some of my favorite designers...it's called "retrosketches: where every sketch is a blast from our past".

This week's sketch is from Arielle who besides running the weekly colourQ challenge also has a digital stamp company called Wax Fruit Company.  I need a really cheerful birthday card and I have the perfect image from Wax Fruit...

  9. Kim, my email is down at the moment, but I found this site that tells how to add a "pin it" button to your blog template...and it works GREAT! When you click it, it brings up everything on the page!
