happy birthday

I decided to try a layout challenge with Clean & Simple Stamping layout 105.  I obviously stayed very close to the layout, but it was fun, easy, and cute!

stamp: Impress flower, Papertrey Ink "happy birthday"

ink: ColorBox aqua, VersaFine onyx black

happy birthday. happy birthday. happy birthday.

I had some extra time while the kids were napping so I whipped out this card for the Embellish Magazine Color Challenge.

papertrey august blog hop challenge

The Papertrey Ink had a brown bag challenge.  Since I've been working on being "green," I don't usually have paper bags in the house.  I did find one beat up grocery bag (can't get my husband to use the totes every time).  So I cut it up and used that on my cards.  I had fun and made two cards.

ink: Impress mustard & poppy, VersaFine onyx black
other: gingham ribbon, Marvy markers (brown, pink grey, pine green)
