A "Clean & Simple" Happy Birthday

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend! I know I did! And today I spent some time in my studio coloring and cardmaking! My fave kind of day, let me tell ya!! (I'll let you in on a little secret . . . it takes me as long to make a Clean & Simple card as it takes me to make one of my fancy schmancy creations!! Maybe longer! hehe!!) Take a look . . .

This cutie is a Mo Manning image called "Cupcake Hamster" . . . . she's available HERE in Mo's online store. Here's a close-up . . .
