Happy Birthday, Erin!

Happy Birthday to Erin! If you've come from Karen's blog, welcome! This is the second stop on the way to the birthday girl herself! Karen did a fabulous job of creating a 'hopping' sketch- here's mine:
Erin's fave combo is red & kraft, and she's a CAS girl, so here's what I've come up with in her honor! 
Pinwheels are made with Cosmo Cricut odds & ends mini deck & backed with vintage text.
A little machine stitching to round off the sketch...

 Sentiment from Butterfly Dreams (PTI), cardstock PTI as well.
Your next stop is the amazingly talented Sav! Don't forget to hop all the way to Erin's for an opportunity to win party favors!
Here's the whole list of party-goers!
