Hello everyone!  I know we're nearly half through January, but this is my first post since December so....Happy New Year to you from me, Mary J!

So to kick start my first post on Quixotic Inspirations for 2012, I have made a birthday card for a very very special friend of mine...

And, yes, she is this gorgeous and sexy!!  And, yes, shopping is at the top of her hobbies list!  Don't you just love the new Uptown Girls by Stamping Bella? This is Posh Has a Present and it comes with that cool sentiment.  I wanted to keep the very modern feel of her by using Bazzill Basics kraft cardstock and then papers from the Cosmo Cricket Upcycle paper pad.  To keep it from being too plain, I created the borders using Whimsy Shapeology double scallop border die (isn't it pretty?!!).


Okay, that is it from me today - make sure you come back on Saturday for a new monthly sketch challenge!!
