I don't normally case things but I just liked the look of this card and thought I'd give it a go;-) Thanks Lisa you rock! Go here to check out the tutorial to make one yourself!

Other stuff: 1 3/8" Square punch, Extra-large oval punch, Petite pennants builder punch, Cupcake builder punch, Scallop edge border punch, 1" circle punch,1 1/4" circle punch, Timeless type junior alphabet sizzlits die.
