Magical birthday

Happy September 1st!!  It's time for a new challenge on the Critter Crazy Challenge blog!  As always, it is a month long challenge: Anything Goes as long as you feature a creature.  Here is my card for your inspiration:

I know this is stretching it a little bit, but if we can use mythical creatures, then why not a mythical birthday cake creature?  I mean it's a unicorn cake, right?  I won the chance to purchase this set as part of a GIANT box of goodies from Jennifer McGuire several years ago.  So much fun stuff in there, but almost all of it has sat around in a box ever since.  So, I'm working on using some of the sets and this one came out to play.  There are several different decorations that can be used to decorate this fun cake.  I decided to keep it relatively simple and just added some piping around the bottom and a few flowers and she was done!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hop on over to the Critter Crazy blog and check out the details and the rest of the projects from the Design Team.

Hanging out

Hello, everyone!  It's time for the mid-month reminder for the challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: Make It Cute.  I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Polkadoodles.

 Here is my card:

Oh, my goodness!!  The cuteness of this panda is just too much!  He looks a little bit sad, maybe because he's thinking about his friend whom he misses.  This was a very simple card all around.  I printed out the image, die cut it, colored it, added the sentiment and adhered it to the card base and, done!

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

Supplies:

Stamps: Polkadoodles "Noodle Panda Hang Out"; Cardz TV "Just Sayin'" sentiment

Dies: MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle
