First up is the new challenge at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge. The theme is Birthdays - what a great thing to celebrate!! So often we get hung up on that number - especially if that number is getting higher and higher - LOL!! But it's just that - a number. It's a great time to celebrate life and celebrate all that has been accomplished - and look forward to what the next year has to bring.
For my card I used "Large Heart Quilted" for the main image and then a little Happy Birthday stamp I had (I think it might even be a little Studio G stamp but who knows). The papers were part of my stash as is the piece of ribbon. Last weekend I went through all my buttons and separated them by color - so of course I had to use them! LOL!!
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
- Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
- Crafting From The Heart - Anything Goes
- Lexi's Creations - Happy Birthday
- Love To Scrap Challenge - Anything Goes
- Through The Purple Haze - Button it Up
- Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
Next up for today is the Mid-Challenge Inspiration at Kitty Bee Designs Aloha Challenge. The theme is Congrats/Graduation. Our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps. I chose to use Ava Grad Diploma This card is already in the hands of the recipient. Our niece graduated from Nursing School this month and we couldn't be more proud of her!
For the card I chose to use red because her graduation party was red and white. Once again the papers are from my stash. The "Congrats" stamp is one that I had on hand - I have no idea what company it is.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
- Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
- A Random Fan - Anything Goes
- Simon Says Stamps - Anything Goes
- 4 Krafty Girls Challenge - Anything Goes
- Hanna and Friends - Dies
- Red Rubber Inspirationals - Way to Go, Graduate
- The Sailing Pineapple - Black-White-Red

Zella - Again, I always love coming to your blog. Are you a philosopher too, LOL, because I love your take on birthdays. You are so right, it's only a number, which is my thinking too. Great job on the color scheme and the added buttons!

Wow Zella such a beautiful classy card.team mate such beautiful inspirations for our birthday challenge. I would lobe to do quilting but i do not have enough patience to cut out all the pieces. Your right over birthdays you can't wait to be 18 and grown up and by the time your 40 you wish you were 18 again, crafty hugs Julie Ann

I completely agree, age is definitely a number. It is all about how we feel inside.
