Birthday Greetings/ color throwdown331 & MOJO386

Today I'm linking my card to two challenges, color throwdown and Mojo386.  This is the last week of the month and the MOJO Monday sketch is always the Tall and Skinny layout. I usually have a difficult time with this size, but I think today I was able to get a decent card created using it. Aren't the colors for the color throwdown just beautiful? So bright, fresh, "Springy" and fun to work with.

I chose to use the inside sentiment on the outside of this card to utilize the full length of the Project Life Card & Label die. Both the outside sentiment and the inside Happy Birthday greeting is from the hostess set,  Bloom with Hope. I really like the graphic look of the flowers and script in this set, but I'm not sure why I haven't used it more.

It's Your Day / VLVFeb2015#3

Here is my card for VerveFeb2015#3 challenge. This is also a birthday card that is for my daughter whose birthday is this week. It was already mailed, thankfully!

I just love this birthday paper by SU, Birthday Bash SDSP. The colors just make me HAPPY! The flower, which is a new favorite of mine, is from a new set Crazy About You punched with 1 3/4"scallop punch.

I rounded the corners with the Project Life corner rounder, used the Banners framelits, an older punched piece to add to the top of the banner by Ek success, twine from the Feb.Paper Pumpkin kit, and all solid card stock by SU. 

That's about it for today. I have some wash to do and rearrange some bedroom drawers. Not necessarily as much fun as spending time in my Studio, but a girl needs to do what a girl need to do. :0)

Make it a great Thursday and go do something CRAFTY my friends.

Hugs,
BernieBee

You're How Old/ VlVFeb2015#2

Today I'm posting sketch #2 of the VivaLa Verve challenge for the month of February. I needed a birthday card for one of my sons who was turning 40, and thought the this Just Sayin' stamp with matching framelit and sketch were perfect.

I combined papers from the recent Birthday Bash DSP and last years High Tides DSP. Since both papers included Calypso Coral, I used that color for the card base and accented it with  Night of Navy and a little Crushed Curry.

Well, I'm off to get this card in the mail so my son receives it on time! I hope you make your Wednesday great and are able to do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

Make a Wish/ Viva La Verve Challenge 1

This week I will be posting cards that I will be linking to the Viva La Verve February challenges. Why not stop over and enter. They will have 4 sketches ( although #4 will be up this week) that you can link and have a chance to win a $100 gift voucher for Verve Stamps! The more sketches you enter the more chances you have on winning.  :0)

Just a note: the February Contest Deadline is  8pm Mountain, Thursday March 5.

This is sketch #1 which I used for a Birthday Card for my granddaughter. I think it might be a little hard to see, but the banner paper is Gold SP and the main paper and smaller banner are papers from Birthday Bash which have gold embossed designs. I paired it with Night of Navy paper and ink and Whisper White.

Make it a wonderful Monday and as always, do something CRAFTY my friends!

Hugs,
BernieBee
