Pearly Sparkles February Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to our new challenge at Pearly Sparkles.We know you'll love this one because it'sANYTHING GOES!We can't wait to see your creative projects for this new month.
Here's my design team project - a birthday card for a very special friend whobleeds the orange and blue of the University of Illinois and loves her cats.She was a teacher for many years and, although no children of her own, made sure the softball players at the U of I had a state of the art softball facility.  My daughter was the catcher on the first Illini softball team (2000-2004) and caught the ceremonial first pitch thrown by this amazing woman.Happy, Happy Birthday, Shorty Eichelberger.

The die cuts and stamp are all from LaLa Land Crafts.  I used Copic Markers for the kitty and ribbons on the presents.  
Please join us for this challenge.  Just link your project to the Pearly Sparkles blog (link above.)
