HappiLeigh Scrappin's Birthday Challenge

Time for another

This week I'm the host.
Since today is my son's 28th birthday,
I figured a Birthday Card Challenge sounded good.
Plus my way of making sure
I made a card for TJ.
Said card has now made it's way
from Virginia to Philly.

Before I get to the challenge,
let me tell you about Leigh's specials.
Buy 3 images and get one free.
Buy 6 images and get 2 free.
ETC.

PLUS
with every purchase
you get Slippy FREE! 



Isn't he the cutest snail you ever saw.

Rules of the challenge...
You can  use any image, you wish.
If you use a HappiLeigh image,
you get 2 chances in the drawing.
PLUS
you are entered into a drawing
open only to those who used
a HappiLeigh Image.

Here is my card....


I used Frosted Lace Stickles on the whip cream.
The Sundae dish has Glossy Accents on it
to make it look more like a glass.
And I used my awesome new
Glaze pens on the sentiment. 

Can't wait to see your project at
this week's

Delightful Inspirations Weekly and Saturday Challenge

Weekly and Saturday Challenges

First the details of the 2 challenges...

The weekly challenge is a Progressive Challenge.Meaning...the first Friday of the month Faith offers a free image. Make something with that image by Thursday night and Faith will email you a new image Friday morning.  Repeat again and get another image.Now if you didn't get this month's freebie, no problem.  You can purchase it in their store.

The Saturday Challenge is hosted by Faith's Design Team. They will have a challenge sometimes using the weekly image, and sometimes you can't make that image into the  Saturday Challenge.  This week is one of those weeks it won't work.

So having gotten the details our of the way...let's look at the cards I made. 

First we have Maisie Bell,who is ready to go back to school. I used my Cricut to cut the image and scalloped oval out.  Paper is from my stash, as were the stickers.  There is lace along the left side of the card, but it rather hard to see in the picture.  The lace and stick pins are from Pizzaz Aplenty.
   


The Saturday Challenge is Christmas for a Child.  I just adore this image and have used it a lot.  I used my Cricut to cut out the candy cane and scalloped oval.  Everything was in my stash.  I love doing her wings with Stickles...plus her halo and stars.


Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, love and prayers.
