Birthday 2 of 3

Okay, this is birthday card 2 of 3.  The plan is for this card to go to the birthday girl this weekend.  Although, both kids were just invited to another birthday today that will be held Saturday.  That party is for a little boy, so this card may work.  Must decide!?!?

I honestly cannot even say where this digistamp came from, but I can say I have used it several times.  It is such a great "generic" birthday wish.  I colored it this time with my Bic Permanent Markers.  I have had a ton of baker's twine (I think that is what it is called) for a long time, but have never used it.  Good news -- I used all scraps yet again!  Another point, this card is perfect for the monthly challenge over at Just Inspirational Challenges.  This is the new monthly "Animal with Sentiment" challenge.

Thanks for looking!

Birthday 1 of 3

There are currently two birthday party invitations hanging on our refrigerators addressed to Amelia.  The catch is that the birthday party on the 28th is for a set of twins.  This is the first time Amelia will be attending a party as a friend of each sister.  Not going to lie, makes preparing for the party and bit interesting.  Do you get each girl the same thing, but just slightly different in looks perhaps?  Or, do you get them each totally separate/not even similar gifts?  I think we have decided on similar gifts, and more posting about that will come later.  

Right now, the card for sister #1.

I got this cute birthday cake digistamp for Blackberry Jelly.  I used my Bic Permanent Markers to color it, and a white roller ball pen to add the "extra" markings.  It is slightly difficult to see, but I added some pink Stickles in the middle of the lower heart.  I used a good ol' fashion round, circle punch with a piece from my scrap stash to make the background circle.  I also used my Tag Marker punch from Stampin' Up  to create the tag that I put a Happy Birthday rub-on on.  Again, this card is made using scraps.  I feel so accomplished when I can use all scraps!

 

I am using the card for these to challenges:

We All Scream for Ice Cream!!

Hello!

Not sure about you all, but I am a HUGE ice cream fan.  Oh, right now, I am on a total kick for a new ice cream I discovered -- Blue Bunny Homemade Turtle Sundae

Oh, my!  It is so good.  So good that when my daughter asks for ice cream, I don't even offer this one.  She gets the chocolate swirl that is in the freezer, too.  One of the best things about living in Florida -- never too cold to eat ice cream.  Not that it really was too often in Indiana, but there were times.

Anyway, how about the card?

Sorry, it is so dark.  Really, I have to do research into taking better pictures.  I am so jealous of the others I see.  Anyway, I am not sure where the digistamp came from, but it was just too fun not to color.  Broke out my Bic Mark It Markets because I knew there were some great lime green colors in the group.  Have to have mint ice cream, right?  Again, I am pretty proud of myself as the other items on this card are cut from what was left of the DCWV Whimsy Paperpack cover.  I know you can't tell in the picture, but the HI is completely glittered as are the two colored squares behind the cone.  The Hi is pop dotted.  I decided to put the card together on Kraft stock because it seemed to go with the cone on the ice cream, and then also I could enter this card into a few challenges.
