Just Us Girls is looking for Clean and Simple Birthday cards this week. I'm always in need of birthday cards, so found some time yesterday to make this card:
Edited to add, I found time to make the card, but neglected to get it posted on JUGS before the noon closing time! It's not the first time, I've written the post a day early, and then neglect to get it linked. So annoying! At least it made it to the other challenges.
I'm in the process of creating spreadsheets to inventory all my craft supplies. It's not as tedious as I expected and easy to do if I'm watching a television show at the same time. This week I went through three drawers of card stock and patterned paper, and reacquainted myself with Papertrey Ink's Bitty Big line of patterned papers. This die from My Favorite Things, Happy Birthday Balloons, creates a CAS card in one run through the die cutting machine. It's another one of those dies that I've had for a long time, and never used. The three balloons were backed with Raspberry Fizz, Green Parakeet, and Orange Zest Bitty Big papers, and one large stripe of the Green Parakeet papers backed the sentiment.
In addition to Just Us Girls, I'm adding this to Seize the Birthday (no topping), and to Darnell's NBUS Challenge.
