I am so honored that I was seleced to be a guest designer for Sunny Challenges & Creations Challenge this week.  I was so nervous about making something good enough for this honor, I made 2 cards!

This was my gender neutral Birthday card.

This was my take for an older boy/ male card.

This is the sketch we had to base our cards from:

As you may have gathered, I tend to need a lot of birthday cards, esp. for kids.  For all of us who have kids, you are in the same situation.  That is also why I have a tendancy to make several cards at one time.  For those…”Mommy forgot you needed this” event!

I am still in awe of all the wonderful creations that were at Regionals yesterday here in Columbus.  It was so great to finally be able to attend a Stampin’ Up! event, and even better to meet all the wonderful people.  I had so many pictures that I do not know where to start, so it will be a day or so before I start sharing some of the ideas I saw there. 

Now I am going to share the goodies that my friend Stephanie Gibson made for our table.  Since no one in my group was going to be there, she let me join her and her group at there table.  Since she was also helping out we had a Prime table right in front of the stage and screens!!!  I didn’t even need my glasses!

First there was a white bag with the tag on it!  (So need to get this die set! )

  

 Then inside the bag was a personalized CD case.

 

 

 

Inside that a Pen & notebook.  Which I have to say was great considering when I ran out of the house in the morning I completely forgot to throw mine in the bag I brought!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This card is for my husband for his birthday .  The layout was inspired by the Pals Paper Art Sketch this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay first off, I realize that the picture is awful.  I was in a hurry to get this posted before church and over slept today.  That is what I get for not doing this last night!

SO, I had to make another birthday card or this week, and I love the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

 

 

 

I decided to use more neutral colors and DSP and then the “popping pastel” technique to color in my image.  I was going for a softer look.  I hope you enjoy
