My card for Birthday Sundaes!

I have power again, yay!!!  It came back on about 9:30 pm last night but it was too late to start photographing & uploading pictures then.   We survived Irene with no real damage - just a huge mess to clean up in our backyard, luckily only parts of trees & limbs came down and missed our house thankfully! We lost the food in our fridge & freezer as well, we hope to restock once the stores around here restock their shelves. For now it's pasta, soup or takeout from places that are up & running.  There are still many, many people around the state with no power so I consider us to be very lucky & extremely grateful.

I did read 2 books and made 3 cards during the power outage, so at least I was a little bit productive! We tried to play UNO by candlelight after the flashlights died but it didn't go so well - it's quite hard to differentiate between blue & green with just a flicker of a flame!

Here is the first card that I finished - my DT card for Birthday Sundaes.

As a reminder, the challenge is to create a birthday card using this picture as inspiration (and include birthday wording on the card front).  With all the purple, you may be wondering how the heck I was inspired? I went with the dots & stripes on the flags, the green on the plate and naturally, the cupcakes :)  You can enter your card {HERE}!
