Happy Cake Day

Happy Friday!!!  (Actually, I'm a couple days late--we had a big birthday weekend and I didn't have time to get this posted before Sunday!)  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Your Favorite Color

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I bet you can't guess what my favorite color is!  Yep, it is blue!  Blue also happens to be my daughter's favorite color and this is her birthday card.  She and her twin sister turned 17 this past week.  She loves monkeys, so of course, I had to add this super cute little guy and her favorite cake (mine, too) is called Death by Chocolate by one of our local restaurants.  It is a dark chocolate cake (so moist!) with a dark chocolate ganache type frosting  and the sides are studded with mini chocolate chips.  Soooooo good.  Anyway, I made the cake to look like that cake and added some die cut numbers to look like candles.  And of course added a fun sentiment that fit with that yummy cake!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
