Lily Impressions Birthday Card by Judy Newsome

A couple days ago I shared my January swap card made with the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. You can see that post here. The swap theme was Sale-A-Bration. Coincidentally, Judy Newsome used the very same pattern from the same Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper for her swap cards, and out layouts are even very similar. You know what they say: great minds think alike! Judy, a member of my Candy Hearts team, lives in LaFayette, GA.
