Sweet Celebration

Hey kids!  How's your week going?  Mine is a bit less hectic than last week, for which I am thankful.  Yesterday got off to a less-than-stellar start though...Sadie (my baby girl doggo) knocked my tea over...but it was in the kitchen so it was easy to clean up.  Then my water bottle got turned over in my bag on the way to the gym and of course the lid wasn't shut all the way, so all the stuff in my bag got wet...but at least it was just water and the worst of the damage was to an old blue folder, nothing permanent to anything else that was in my bag.  So even though those were annoying events, there was still a silver lining to both of them, and in the afternoon I managed to make this card before my kiddo woke up from his nap...although he's talking now and trying to get me to go get him up as I type this blog post :)

The lighting in my picture isn't great but it's what I can get at 5:00 in the afternoon.  The cupcake is from a Sale-a-Bration set, and the sentiment is from Sweetest Thing in the current Occasions catalog.  On the inside of the card, I stamped a "Happy Birthday" from Sweetest Thing on a scrap of Bermuda Bay, cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits in an oval, and stuck it on the Lovely Lipstick card base.

I started with this fabulous color challenge from Just Add Ink:

It is all things bright and beautiful and I am HERE for it.  I don't know what flavor my bright purple cupcake is, maybe it tastes like grape Jolly Ranchers.  I paired the color palette with the Paper Players sketch:

Fun sketch, I like it.  I always like it when sketches give me a good way to use up skinny scraps of cardstock!

That's it for me today, peeps.  Have a great Wednesday!

Happy Birthday to MEEEEEE

Today's my BIRFDAY!  But I'm still going to the gym and all my normal routine stuff today; tonight we have a babysitter so the hubs and I are going out to dinner without the kiddo.  Wheee!

So I made a birthday card to share today because why not.

I used Hello Cupcake, one of the Sale-a-Bration offerings this year.  Cute, huh?  I also used the sketch from Fab Friday:

That's a great sketch, I could use that one over and over.  I paired it with the color challenge from Global Design Project:

While that cupcake looks pretty cute, my dessert plans this evening include a ridiculous amount of chocolate.  Which is also why I need to go to the gym today, ha!  Cheers, y'all!
