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!

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?

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash challenges continue and Day 5 is to create a Funny Birthday Project.

Eggbert Nurse is supposed to be for a get well card, but today he is helping a friend get over being "over the hill"!

Bugaboo Birthday Bingo

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash challenges started off with BINGO.

My card has bingo with a Bugaboo image, free space and ribbon.



CAS with a bit of sparkle and hearts. 

That's it!

Birthday Bling

Bugaboo's Birthday Bash challenges continue and Day 4 is to create a project featuring BLING!

Super Pig to the rescue again!

This time around, there is some sparkle on the boots and belt, plus rhinestones with the sentiment.

Sparkly fun.
