It's my party - and I'll have a SALE if I want to!

Happy Birthday to ME! 

Yep, loud and proud - I am 29 today! You better believe that I plan to make this year the BEST that my twenties have seen! lol 

So, I took some 'me' time yesterday and crafted - played along with some challenges and just, had fun. But, the sun wasn't playing nice... 


So my cards are a little 'darker' than I would have liked...But, I got to play along with 4 challenges - check em out! 

CAS-ology Challenge



And I entered the same card into the Simon Wednesday Challenge - it was an 'anything goes' and you can find it HERE.

Here is my card.. .


Swoon - I really like this card - I stacked the books from the 'Geek Chic' set and used one of the cute sentiments. It all came together so nicely! {Oh, I also grabbed my favorite 'extra' from the chalkboard set - the arrow and made a bit of a background on the tag}

Next I played along with the sketch on CAS{E} this Sketch Challenge 

Case this sketch!

I was also able to play along with Seize the Birthday because it too was a 'anything goes' week... 

Here is the card I made - 

Eeek! I love it - I used Copic markers and created a 'comic book' feel with this card. Everything is colored and stamped... and it just works. I'm really happy with this birthday card and would be pleased to give it to any Zombie lover in my life. I essentially created two 'patterned papers' with stamps and markers... and it was actually pretty fast and easy! NOM NOM NOM is right!
