Marvelous Possibilities

I couldn't help myself, I just had to make another card with Perfect Mix.  I just love anything that has to do with baking, and was having so much fun with these stamps.  As I was creating cards, my granddaughters were right at my elbow begging to make a card, too.  One wanted to color some bowls, so I stamped them on a card for her.  "Make 3" she says.  The other wanted to cut out mixers like I was doing.  They are quite the crafters. I must admit that I saw this card on Dawn Olchefske's blog here , and absolutely loved it and thought it would be perfect layout to use with these stamps.  Then I realized that I could use the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #219 , but later realized that my card was not really "CAS" (clean and simple).  The Seize the Birthday Challenge calls for using TWO DIFFERENT PATTERNED PAPERS, so I'll play along with their challenge, too. What I love most about this card is the fun ...

I had some catching up to do this week with making some birthday cards.  So many to do this month, and I got the flu.  It's been hard to get into the craft room and play when I feel wiped out most of the time.  This week I am starting to feel more like creating, and with 3 birthdays creeping up this week I had to get busy.  As usual, I look for inspiration in the challenge blogs, and I was totally inspired when I saw the colors from Just Us Girls Color Week #389.   Who couldn't make up a birthday card with these fun colors.  Seize the Birthday Challenge was to USE TWO PATTERNED PAPERS, and the layout at Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #95 was perfect for that idea.  I couldn't wait to play with a stamp set that I won at our demonstrator meeting, and had not had the chance to play with yet, Perfect Mix.  It was fun choosing which of the elements I would use.  The bowl and mixer are my favorite, and making a cake is top priority, so...
