birthday cheer



I've got a few fun birthday themed goodies for you today, it's birthday season in our house and I've got a couple of cards with that theme in mind.  The first one, check out my use of PTI Rasberry Fizz,  be proud.  I wanted to play along with Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge, just think birthday and a stand?  I know I went from cupcakes to birthday cake, but it works right?  Plus the new Moxie Fab World "Stamp It Birthday Card" challenge, what's better then a multi-layer cake with a bit of sparkle?



Next up, not so sure about this one... but I tried to use this week's Play Date Cafe colors with the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, oh well, I'll stick it in the shoe box of cards and I'm sure it'll find a use, even if I don't love the card.



And since this is a birthday themed post, I couldn't miss out on the drink themed sketch over at Skipping Stones this week.  (Sorry my SSD sentiment didn't fit, bit in theory it says "Happy Birthday" on the inside, reality isn't quite there yet, but...).  


And this the project I should be working on... gift bags for the birthday party this afternoon....
