Oooh now that looks like fun!
You are too fabulous! I think even I could pull this off, and I am SO not crafty! :)
I know that this is an older post, but I took your idea and made this: http://alittlebitofkaos.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-birthday-sarah.html As for dimensions, I had an A3 sheet of paper at work and the pattern was drafted onto that, so I am not even sure they are the same size, but I had fun doing it! Thanks for the inspiration!
