PTT18 Carrot Cake Color Challenge

I had never done challenges before and I love how they make creating a card quick and easy.  Party Time Tuesdays, PTT18, came up with the color challenge and the only other requirement is that it has to have happy birthday on the card.  I just got the Curly Cute set from Stampin Up and inked it with pumpkin pie on peach parfait.  The back of the card is soft suede and the designer paper is the hostess level one incolor paper set.  The flower is the stampin up flower burst embosslit.  The bigshot embosses and cuts out the flower.  Super easy! 

Trendy Trees Male Card

I have a couple male birthdays coming up so I had fun designing birthday cards today without the usual girly bling.  My favorite brother loves fall in the midwest so this will remind him of home.  Oh... yeah... he is my only brother!  I wanted him to know how special he is to me so he'll be getting a birthday greeting from me soon.
Stamp sets: Trendy Trees and On Your Birthday
Cardstock: saffron, crumb cake, retired autumn dp
Ink: Saffron and Choc chip

Extreme Skateboard, Extreme Elements, Extremely Great Nephew!

This card was just too fun to create.  I purchased Extreme Skateboard just for my nephew who loves to skateboard.  I broke out the extreme elements stamp set to design a card for him.  He is a greatly appreciative teen and I can't wait to mail it to him.  He is an awesome kid.
