Happy Birthday--PP191 and Seize the Birthday

April 15, 2014

It  turned off very cold and windy today!  What is going on with this weather??  My Mom was experiencing snow flurries in Indiana!  I am shocked!  I am so ready for Spring to stay!

I absolutely loved the color combination in Ann's challenge this week for The Paper Players !!!  The Design Team's cards were amazing!  I always enjoy looking at all the talent that they present each week!  Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Always Artichoke were calling my name to ink up my new stamp set, Simple Stems.  I have never used it before, but after seeing so many wonderful cards made with this set, I had to have it!  I am also linking my card to Seize the Birthday challenge.  I am always in need of a birthday card, so I am glad I found this challenge!  WOW!  The samples by the Design Team rocked!  Take a peak at both challenges if you have time!  ENJOY!
