Teabag Happy Birthday

Hello from the beautiful (and oh so very RAINY!) Washington Coast!!!

It's our annual Crafty Girls Weekend at the beach and I am here with my daughter, my Mom, my best friend, her Mom and 3 other wonderful ladies having a fantastic time!

I've never showcased this card on my blog before, because I made it for my super wonderful friend, Callie for her birthday and I didn't want her to see it... and then, well... yea, I just plum forgot to share it with everyone else!  Hahaha!  This morning, I saw the challenge at Oh Alice is to create a card with teabag folding and I remembered this card!  I just LOVE how it turned out, and I hope you like it, too!

Here's a few other challenges that this card will fit into as well:

Pals Paper Arts: Colors - Pear, Peach, Melon (there's some light pear in that stripey paper)

Party Time Tuesdays: Anything Goes Birthday

Cupcake Craft: Happy Hour!

I'm sure I'll be back with more fun stuff that we're doing here this weekend, but for now - 

Ta Ta and Happy Crafting!!

Challenge Saturday

Evening All!

Just wanted to share a couple of challenge cards with you - 

Here's Number One:  I think I hit a record amount of challenges with this card!  It started with Farm Fresh Friday, which is a color combo.  An interesting combo, but I really like the result!  Anyone For Anya and Totally Gorjuss want to see flowers, so there's flowers in the patterned paper & in Anya's hair.  Stamp Something wants to ring in Spring and I chose to use colors that I think are springy, especially the Guava.  The Pink Elephant wants to see ribbon.  And, Stampin' For The Weekend provided me with a fun sketch!

For challenges:

Farm Fresh Friday - Colors: Chocolate, Kraft, Guava

Anyone For Anya - Flower Power

Totally Gorjuss - Flower Power

Stamp Something - Touch of Spring (or spring colors)

The Pink Elephant - Ribbon

Stampin' For The Weekend - Sketch

It was hard to keep simple and not add layers and embellies and "stuff" to this card, but it was fun and I like the way it turned out!  It will make a nice quick card for those birthdays that always seem to sneak up on me!
