Something Old, Something New

Sweet Dawn Mercedes, Tangled Up in Creativity member and Senior Designer for Mark's Finest Papers has been crowned Queen for the Day at Splitcoaststampers. She is also hosting the Free 4 All Challenge today and asked that participants use pattern paper to create a color block design. I have therefore cased her Whoo's Birthday to enter in both challenges.

Congratulations, Dawn! Enjoy your day on the throne! I look forward to seeing the cards people are inspired to create in your honor!

Because I am using something old (the antique crocheted lace) and something new, (just delivered stamps and die cuts from Papertrey Ink) I am adding this card to Karen's TUIC challenge as well!
