Birthday Colors

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash challenges continue and Day 3 is full of colors with a color challenge.  I find color challenges just a wee bit scary so I kept my card CAS with all the colors on Birthday Penguin Tall Cake.  Well, on the cake at least!

Smiles,
Julie

Four Balloons and Lots of Birthday Wishes

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash challenges are coming to an end and the challenge for the final day is to create a Birthday project with fours...four of something.

To fit the 4 requirement, the birthday card I created has 4 hearts and 4 scalloped borders. 

Puppy Love Balloon normally comes with just 1 heart balloon, so I printed off 3 extras, then colored and fussy cut each out, glued them on and drew in some strings.

My card is based on SCS sketch #471 (SC471).

Smiles,
Julie

Need a Laugh?
