This is my submission for for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge by Susan Itell.  It was a fun sketch to work with!  I dusted off this wonderful birthday set called Endless Birthday Wishes.  Love this set! I used Cherry on Top dsp.  It's such a fun stack of paper and not all birthday.  I had to add the banner for my sentiment.  I didn't want to cover up the adorable cake!  Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment!

Ice Creams everywhere...

I have a big list of birthday cards I need for July and August, so I decided to break out the Sprinkles with Life set.  I think this one will be for my granddaughter who is turning five.  I still can't believe that!!   I am in love with the Sprinkles of Life set!  When combined with the tree punch, it can be used for so many things!  Stampin' Up! donates $3 to the Ronald McDonald House for each purchase. What a great cause!

Just a warning -- I will probably be posting a few cupcake ICE CREAM cards over the next week or so.  Once I got going, I couldn't stop! ( I just noticed that I kept referring to the ice creams as cupcakes!  Must have had a bad day! LOL)

Can I just confess to a little ooopsie?  I thought Island Indigo was in the Cherry on Top dsp, not Bermuda Bay.  I used the wrong cs, but I think it works okay.  Let me know what you think!

This cute sketch was an easy one.  I've been loving my banner triple punch so I was happy to use it again! Even though my banners were thinner than the punch grooves (1, 1 1/2 and 2 inch), it worked just fine.  I just flipped it upside down and made sure the strip of paper was even on both sides.  I also got the chance to use a bunch of new items which always makes me happy!  Tell me what your favorite new item is.  I know it's hard to choose.

This is such a cute sketch by Kerry Willard Bray, but I had such a hard time with it!  It looked easy until I set out to make my card.  I have to confess, this is my THIRD card.  I was trying to show off some of my new products and maybe I was trying too hard, or maybe my mojo took a vacation.

Here is what I came up with in the final hour.  I used the cute new Cherry on Top paper stack for this and my other two.  I love that the papers are so versatile.  There are some cute patterns like cherries, cupcakes, donuts, etc.  and then there are some awesome background papers like this stripe.  I will post the second card I made as well, even though it didn't thrill me. At least you can see two of the patterns.
