For today's showcase, I've used a couple of the new images and a few of the new sentiments and dies!  In the last release, I paired up images from the same artists, but this time, I'm mixing it up a bit and combining images from different artists :)  Here I've used Crissy's Birthday Pile Up and Elisabeth Bell's Lemon Pepper.  Is it believable that Lemon Pepper is giving the kitty a birthday kiss? lol.

I used a few of the new sentiments and dies: Celebration Circle Pennants with matching Circle Pennants dies, Party Hat Sentiments with matching Party Hat dies, and the oldie (but goodie) Balloon Die Set.  I was actually quite pleased with the way that the Circle Pennant Dies Set cut - the circles were crisp.

I hope that you like my creation for today :)  I had a fun time putting it together!
