Finally Friday is here, I know I say it often but what a week! I am happy the weekend is here however my weekend is filled with lots of work but I still plan to catch up with some of my favourite people and have a little fun. I have been feeling a little uncreative lately as I am sure you can tell, I am happy to report I feel like my mojo is back! Last weekend I did my last classes in a scrapbook store, which was sad because I have been working in scrapbook stores for years teaching classes all over Sydney but I have stopped doing it so I can focus on my current career direction, having said that there will also be some changes here coming to my blog and with my Stampin’ Up! business soon. I hope to post a little more now I don’t have classes to design for stores.

Anyway I know you are here not to hear all about me or my week but to see a little eye candy and what I did for this weeks Inkspiration challenge. Keesh gave the DT a colour challenge this week….here are the colours:

Here is my card for this week, I am so happy with this card and just think it is super cute. I don’t think I can part with this one and normally I don’t talk myself up {well I don’t think I normally do anyway} but I am feeling pretty clever for coming up with this one The Real Red DSP I have used is retired it was from a 2007 Simply Scrappin kit, I hand most of my scrap DSP to my 4 year old niece Bailey so I had to borrow it from her stash….

Loving the inside too….

If your wondering how I made the banner… well I used these stamps from Party Hearty, the row of party hats which I used upside down and punched the “celebrate” out with a small Circle Punch. I love Party Hearty and it is my most used birthday set.

Check out the other DT’s creations and be inspired!

I am still coming down from my high of spilling the Design Team news, I am overwhelmed and touched by all the lovely comments made… thank you SO much I really needed that yesterday. I have had a very busy 24 hours {well the whole week was really} so I have not had a chance to pop around to all the creations but as soon as I updated my blog I am off to do that…. with excitement.

Last night one of my lovely ladies in my Card Class had a Birthday, so I whipped up a quick card using last weeks
for her. I really loved the sketch and had been meaning to make a card with it all week but only had a change yesterday afternoon, I just love challenges because it helps out my mojo and make me stamp a little faster because I think I have said before I am the slowest stamper in the world {lol}

Here was the sketch:

I have used Party Hearty for this card, on the riding Hood Red strip of the stamped the candles using VersaMark. The papers are Washington Apple and a colour combo I would normally not use but they work so well together.

Inside I have used a greeting from Sale-A-Bration set Whimsical Words and this time I have used markers to colour the candles.

I made a batch of cupcakes to celebrate and even made a cupcake topper that matched the card. I think they looks SO cute and tasted great {well so I hear}

See you tomorrow with 3 days to go…..

I am so busy my head is spinning, I have SO much work on at the moment but I am making sure I pop in to my blog and share a little creative love. I have had a million birthdays {………well it feels like it anyway} in the past 2 weeks, when I give a card and a gift I always try to coordinate the card and packaging. It does not take much and it creates a real wow.

I think Party Hearty is such a fabulous set, I have used it so much for birthdays because I can create male, female and kids cards all from one set {LOVE THAT}.
