Quacky Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. As challenge hostess for the month, I continue to issue the challenges.

Apparently today is Rubber Duckie Day … let's celebrate by including a duck or two on our cards this week. Don't have anything duck related what about chickens, geese, turkeys etc.

For my card today I have finally  pulled out an EK Success stamp set that I have had for ages and not used .... I had actually forgotten about the set until someone else used it for something last year .... I think it was last year!

As you can see I have created a pop up card. I used Karen Burniston's Cupcake Pop-up Card die set for my card and cover the cupcake with a rectangle piece of card which I also decorated to match the background of the card. 

I used the Nature Edges die set to add the grass along the bottom and the clouds along the top edge of the card.

I added a "duck" theme sentiment to the rectangle on the pop up which is from a SugarPea Designs stamp set and I computer generated the "Quacky Birthday" sentiment.

For the front of the card I have again used the duck images as well as the grass and clouds that I used on the inside of the card.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.

Friends!

Happy Saturday everyone.

It’s OCC challenge time over on the Our Creative Corner Blog. This week have a sketch to play with …. who doesn’t love sketches right!!!

A couple of weeks ago a couple of friends and I went up to our favorite scrapbook store (I don’t scrapbook, but I do love their papers etc that they sell) …. we must have been made cause we went on the worst day of rain in about 30 years … although to be fair we did think it was starting to clear up when we left here but apparently not … oops. Anyway while out shopping my friend found a couple of Disney sets which we all had to have …. shhhhhhhhh!

Of course I had to get them out and play so I decided to use Minnie for my card today. I paper pieced her dress & bow using some designer paper.

Here is the sketch we were given …. I didn’t round my corners of my base card like it shows in the sketch …. oops! I am not going to try and pull it apart just for rounded corners.
