Happy Birthday at the 4 Crafty Chicks!


Here we are at Thursday again!  How did that happen?  The week seems to go by so quickly and now that the countdown to Christmas is on, the time seems to go by a whole lot faster.

This week's challenge at the 4 Crafty Chicks is brought to us by Leanne and she has given us a birthday theme to work with.  I don't make many birthday cards on a regular basis and my supply has been dwindling so I was glad to have the chance to make one to add to the box.  :)

I have had so much fun using Arielle's colourQ combinations over the last few weeks I thought I'd pop over and see what she had for us this week and, boy oh  boy, is it a doozy:


Are you all laughing at me again?  You know how much I *love* the wonderful Pacific Point...(insert eyeroll here).  BUT, not one to give up a good challenge, off I went in search of a sketch to inspire and found the perfect one over at Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge:


I rotated it 90 degrees and voila:

Stamps: Upsy Daisy (SU!)  Ink: Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Soft Suede  Paper: Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point, Soft Suede  Accessories: Paper piercer, Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon, button, twine, Twizzle embossing folder

Thanks for stopping by today - if you have some time so play along with us at the 4 Crafty Chicks, we'd love to see what you create so make sure you link us up with inlinkz.  Enjoy the rest of your week!

Oh my word, Melissa! I LOVE this! (Even if it IS Pacific Point, LOL!) Love how you used the colors and all of the paper piercing adds so much. :)
