Sweet Birthday

Papercraft Star #158 has some great summertime inspiration:

I bought the watermelon DSP some time ago but never found a chance to use it...perfect for this fun challenge.

Simon Says Triangles

Two more challenges: Simon Says Stamp-Wednesday Challenge - Triangles

And another one for: A Blog Named Hero - Recycle, Reuse, Recycle - that very pretty ribbon actually came from a shirt I purchased recently...you know, the straps they use to keep the shirt from falling off  the hanger...I loved the color and couldn't bring myself to throw it away!

I was also thinking of submitting to the Operation Write Home-Our Daily Bread Monthly Challenge to use Green, Brown, and Pink...in the end I thought the paper I chose had a few too many extra colors...back to the drawing board for this one!

Stamps: Hero Arts Operation Write Home collection

Anything goes, Friend!

A couple of cute neighbor kids brought over some cherries and some brownies recently, with an adorable handwritten note...so I wanted to give them a card that a kid would enjoy...what do you think?  I added a big pack of gummy worms and left it on their porch.

Another entry for Simon Says Stamp Challenge-Anything Goes.

Happy Cat

My son has a cat he adores...but he's the only one, even his wife doesn't like his cat!  This cat is as happy as can be when he can bring birds home, so I thought this combination of stamps was a fun birthday card for my son and also fit in with the challenge over at Papercraft Star Challenge 155.

Some ideas for you ...

Colors
Birdhouses
Conical shapes
Birds

And the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp this week is 'Anything Goes'...

 Stamps:

Cat - Stampendous

Birds - Tim Holtz

Sweet Birthday

I really like this sketch from Mojo Monday #291:

 I think I'll try it again when I have a little more time!  I also had this in mind for CASual Fridays Bingo Challenge...

The paper is from Stampin'Up, the stamps are from Skipping Stones Design.  Thanks for stopping by, be sure to leave me a 'Hi'!
