Birthday Sundaes Challenge #40

Good morning fellow crafters. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. I have been having computer problems this weekend. I have been unable to access my photos through Picasa, so no scrapping. I had glorious plans of getting a 2 page layout done and several cards, but I am still working on getting the computer cooperating. At least they are not lost. As a matter of fact, I have them in 3 different places right now. Have to reduce that to only 2.

It's time for the new challenge at Birthday Sundaes. And we have another wonderful sponsor this week - MelJen Designs!! I love their images. I have a wishlist for some there as well.



This week's lucky, random winner will recieve 4 images of her choice. Our challenge this week - Create a birthday card with a birthday sentiment on the front, a favorite.

MelJen was so generous and offered images for the design team to use. I chose Robbie the Robot. I thought he was so cute, and I thought I had some great paper to go along with him. I did find, however, I NEED more Copics.

To create my card, I found a sketch to use. These sketches have been so inspirational for me. For this card, I used last week's sketch from Come and Get It Challenges. I'm not entering the challenge, but just loved the sketch.


And here's my card....


I used blues to color him. I found I don't have any gray markers. And I also don't have black. A shopping trip is in order.

I am entering this card into the current challenge at Cards For Men which is Boys and Their Toys.

I decorated the envelope to go along with this card. I fussy cut some gears from the collection I used and included a similar element from the card. This will allow me to enter this card into the card challenges at Scrappin'-n-Chattin'. Challenge #2 is to create a matching envelope for your card.


I can't wait to see what everyone creates. Have a great week.

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #34

Good Sunday morning. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. The weather here is cool, but nice. We are recovering from the stress of the week and enjoying the end of Stew working 2nd shift. Hopefully this will have been the last week that he will have to work it. I can handle the weekend 2nd shift work, but all week is tough.

It's time for the new challenge at Birthday Sundaes. Today is a special day. It Tracey's birthday!! Happy Birthday!! And she is offering the prize for this week's challenge. Be sure to stop by her blog to wish her a Happy Birthday!!

The prize Tracey is offering is this cool Christmas themed pack from Kaiser. How fun!!


Oh, and the challenge this week is to create a birthday card, with a sentiment on the front. Nice and easy.

I wasn't sure who I wanted to create my card for this week. I have been increasing my collection of digital images, and decided on a cute little doggie with a heart balloon from Bugaboo Digi Stamps. I thought the image would make a cute card for Stew's birthday, from the doggies.


I am going to enter this card into the current challenge at Cards for Men Challenge #22 which is to include an animal on your card. Now I just have to remember I have this card. Stew's birthday isn't until February.

I hope you will share your birthday creation with us this week. Be sure to check out BS and the wonderful cards the design team came up with.
