Pink Birthday Balloons!

Today I have some happy birthday balloons for a cute little birthday girl! Altho it could totally work for a grown-up birthday girl too! I used the color combination from TGIF Challenges for this one. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Arched Wishes, 2016 Paper Pumpkin, even older Paper Pumpkin

Ink: Bubble Bath, Melon Mambo, Memento Black

Paper: Bubble Bath, Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Vintage Crochet Trim 

That's all, folks!

Hello again and happy Thursday to you! 

Time to make a little announcement here. 
After 21 years and five months, I am choosing to no longer be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Look how little some of us used to be when I started this journey! 

My start date fell on my birthday! You can see my friend and her daughter made me a cake, my husband brought home Taco Bell and fancy fudge, and flowers...put in the only pitcher we had at the time....weird. And the 2004 Annual Catalog! Happy birthday to me! 

So, this means I won't have the latest catalogs or deals featured here anymore, but I will keep stamping. I have way too much in my craft room to just stop! Plus I don't expect to ever stop scrapbooking (31 years of that so far...) and I haven't bought a card from the store in yeears, obviously. 

Case in point: a birthday card that has been mailed out already! It goes with the Inkspirational Challenge about "birthday"! DONE! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Arched Wishes

Ink: Bermuda Bay (retired)

Paper: Basic White card stock, Cherry On Top DP (long retired)

Bright Birthday!

Good Monday morning to you! I got to stamp so I have some posts for the week! Hooray!! 

Today's card combined the latest Freshly Made Sketch and the colors from Color Throwdown, and I ended up with a bright, happy birthday card! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Arched Wishes

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana

Paper: Daffodil Delight & Basic White card stocks

Birthday Cupcake!

And THIS card makes today a three-fer, so I can get this one in before the deadline too! Wow... I didn't realize how many challenges were ending! But hooray for a crafty afternoon!!

I used the color combination from Just Add Ink, and since the colors are all sticking around, I used a stamp that is also sticking around! Yeay! I used a Blender Pen and ink pad to color in the image so it's not the *best coloring job, but it works. The dots I used are retiring, but it's fiiine. haha....
