Nikki at Smells Like Homemade celebrated her birthday yesterday and asked everyone to make a birthday card. I used the challenge posted at Prairie Paper and Ink to create this cute card.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Nikki!

After going through all of my papers, I found the most perfect pattern paper from DCWV. The problem is that I didn't want to cover it up with an image since it was so pretty. Outcame my buttons, charms, ribbons, and glitter. This time I even remember to take some close ups so you can see all the sparkles.


My sister and her husband's anniversary is coming up, so I decided to use the challenge sketch to make them a card. The card looks soo much better in person. You really can't see the sparkles from the Stickles on the hearts. Guess I need to take a photography class to learn how to take better pictures and how to use my digital camera.
I wanted to add googlie eyes to the frog but couldn't find any in my stash (they must be buried somewhere). Instead I took two tiny green buttons and added aqua/green Stickles to the center. I think this card turned out great and am really liking the color combo. Will have to try that again!

I knew that I didn't have any pattern paper with just those three colors, so I decided to create my own and add some butterflies.

The picture doesn't show it very well, but the butterflies have sparkles from colored Stickles. What do you think?

I think this turned out pretty cute. I love the little kitty!
