Make some noise

 It's Saturday!!  That means it's time for another challenge from Di's Digi Designs.

The challenge this time is:  Include a Sentiment
And here is my card for your inspiration:

I created this card for my little nephew who just turned 7 (don't even ask me how THAT happened!).  I thought these little cuties made a fun birthday card with their giant, yummy cupcake!  I added a scrap of patterned paper along the bottom with just a little tiny accent strip of copper glitter cardstock.  You can see the sparkle in the photo below.  I stamped two sentiments in two different colors of ink to keep with the bright, colorful theme.

I hope you will get a chance to play along with us; I can't wait to see what you create.  And make sure you hop over to the Di's Digital Designs blog to see what the rest of the team has made for this challenge.

For a chance at an extra prize, Double Trouble Challenge is asking you to show a photo of you with your fur babies.  Here is a picture of one of my almost one-year-old baby boys:
He was helping me pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.  By "help" I mean he was jumping in and out of each box and trying to take little stuffed animals out and play with them.  Packing boxes is tiring and he had to climb in my lap for a little nap when we were all done.  He still is the most snuggly out of my bunch and sleeps on my bed most nights while his siblings prowl about.  I have 4 orange stripey kitties--one old man, two bros (including the guy in my lap) and their little half sis.  Here is a pic of the three kittens "helping" me make cards:




Supplies: 
Stamps: Di's Digi Stamps "Ted's Cupcake Party" digi; CASual Fridays "Whoot!  Whoot!" sentiment
Dies: MFT "Blueprints 25" stitched rectangle

Orange tabbies are so precious, and yours are a true delight, Heather! I can definitely relate to the ones on the craft table, especially the on in the box lid. :-D

Heather, such an adorable card and coloring is so bright and cheery and ready for a party, and I'll have a piece of that cupcake. I have my hands full with one mischief maker getting into my craft supplies (loves plastic and bits of thread, ribbon and paper). Thanks for sharing your fur-babies with Cleo's Special Random Draw prize, great photos. Thanks for sharing your project with us at Double Trouble and 2CCC. Hope we get ten more entries for the random draw, share our post with anyone you know has a pet.

Oh my goodness - the picture of the cats sleeping in everything! ha ha ha! I always love the places that cats think is perfect to plop and snooze. Your card is so cute and perfect for the birthday boy you will be giving it to. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble! :)

I love "marmalade" cats, Heather! I used to have one named Taffy. How sweet that they are helping you assemble your shoeboxes for Samaritan's Purse. My Sluggo does the same thing. Such a worthy cause! Your card is so sweet and beautifully colored as well. Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble #90.
