Birthday Sundaes #38

Good morning!

Birthday Sundaes is back for a new year full of new challenges, new and returning sponsors, and lots of inspiration!

Today's challenge is the easy peasy Birthday Card Challenge - just create a new birthday card and remember to include birthday wording/sentiment on your card front. Edited to add: We also have an optional added challenge to add something NEW to your card. If you do, please let us know what it is! Please enter your newly created birthday card {HERE}. Check out the inspiration while you are there!

This week we are sponsored by Whimsie Doodles and they generously supplied the DT with some fun images to use. The lucky winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to spend at Whimsie Doodles!

I used Gift Leah for my card along with a bunch of scraps from one of my LYB Winter Twig layouts.  The layout is from last Wednesday's SCS card sketch.

Thanks for looking!

Sketchy Thursdays and another layout to share!

I've been on vacation since December 23rd and have been enjoying every moment!

Even though a lot of time has been spent taking care of our home, I'm grateful to have a home to take care of.  On Thursday, I finally spent a good chunk of day scrapping. Go me!  Both pages were created using papers from the Winter Twig line by Little Yellow Bicycle.

Here is what I created~

This page will be the 2nd page to a page I did earlier this month, thus the lack of title and journaling. This was created using Sketchy Thursday's sketch for inspiration.

This page was created using the Little Yellow Bicycle sketch challenge~

Thanks for looking!

I scrapped!

It's been quite some time since I've done a layout. I joined in with the 24 hour challenge at Scrappin-n-Chattin, an awesome yahoo group that I belong to. My friend Sue picked THIS sketch from Jillibean Soup and the Winter Twig collection from Little Yellow Bicycle for me.  I am so glad she picked this collection, it gave me the incentive to scrap and enter this week's Lasting Memories challenge - Winter Wonderland and Falling Snowflakes! It has been ages and ages since I've been able to get a page entered there. I am also entering this week's Anything Goes challenge at The Paper Variety, it's been awhile since I've played there too. I think the desire to craft is slowly coming back, yay!

This is a picture from the day after the October snowstorm that we had. I cut into almost every piece of paper that I bought from my LSS. I think I need to get more so that I have enough to scrap the rest of the pictures! For some extra embellishing, I punched a few snowflakes from different Martha Stewart punches and added them with popdots.

Thanks for looking!

Watermelon Cocoa

It's summer and one of the many things that scream summer to me is watermelon.

So...I whipped up this simple card tonight to celebrate summer's arrival.

I was inspired by THIS sketch while creating my card.  I wanted to show off my some new purchases. I was in the neighborhood of my LSS last week so I stopped in and picked up some of Little Yellow Bicycle's Sweet Summertime paper and I also got the coordinating cardstock stickers.  The adorable image is digital Watermelon Cocoa from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps. I've had him printed out forever and he was perfect to use with this paper! 

I am entering this card into the following challenges: 

• SNSCD7 - All About Summer
• The Paper Variety - Summer Project
