Card:  Kraft, Bitty box basics (PTI), Breeze (MME)

Hello ...

just sharing some quick birthday cards.  Three of these cards use 'Jane's Doodles'.  I recently aquired Jane's latest sets and 'Harry' is a digi from Squigglefly.  Love them, and they are so easy to use.

This first card I made in about 20 minutes (because that's all the time I had LOL!) as I was running late, but I love how it turned out ...
