Here is my card and hopefully some more inspiration.....

I used the new May freebie image and sentiment and based my card on this week's 

Retro Sketches

and came up with this.....

Such a fun birthday card right??

I designed, printed and cut this entire card using my cameo :)

I started with the adorable freebie bird and sentiment (found HERE) and then laid it out on my mat in the spots where I wanted them cut, I traced the bird and then filled him in with designer paper, rainbow circles (I used this one based on the photo inspiration) and printed him 2 additional times so I could pop his body up and then his wing up.

Once I had all my pieces cut I used black hemp twine from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique and tied just a simple knot. I wanted to add some sparkle and since sequins are so in right now I pulled out some in the rainbow colors and glued them randomly on the card.

Well that is all I have for you this morning!

Hope you all have a GREAT day and thanks so much for stopping by!!

Here is my card and hopefully some more inspiration.....
I used these new April release stamp sets....

  
And came up with this birthday card...

How fun is this??? I plan on giving it to my BFF's son who is turning 8 in a few days :)
For my card I used MME~ Mischievous paper pack....yes it is Halloween but it had the colors I wanted.

I stamped my candles 8 times and then paper pieced them using some pattern paper and added some orange and yellow stickles for the flames.

Here is a close-up of the sentiment....I added some orange bling

and there you have it!

Well that is all I have for you this morning!

Hope you all have a GREAT day and thanks so much for stopping by!!

Here is my card and hopefully some more inspiration.....

I used the colors green and blue from the photo as my inspiration as well as the green lines running through the picture.

I wanted my card to have the sentiment as the front and center so trying a new technique (at least for me)

I stamped the sentiment from All About You using Memento Tuxedo Black ink as well as Midnight and Moss ColorBox Ink. I am sure there is an easier way to do this but I ended using inking each section then stamping the whole image. It took me several tries....because either one color didn't stamp clearly or one color ended up mixing with another....BUT after all the tries I finally got it to stamp to where I was happy with it :)

Once the sentiment was completed I matted it on Bazzill card stock and ran some decorative stitching around as a frame.

Pulling out my container of washi tape I added this fun pattern along the bottom and to cover the edge I added some green buttons from my stash.

So what do you think??? I hope you like my card and are inspired to play along!

Well that is all I have for you today!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see you play along in our challenge!!!

And Have a GREAT Friday!!!

this is where my inspiration came from..

hehehehe..I used the colors blue, yellow and red and those adorable sunglasses and here is what came out of that

The papers I used for this card came from My Minds Eye~Moments paper pack (I think one of my favorites!) 

The adorable little monster and sentiment is from TAWS~Gotta Bug stamp set and the border stamp is from TAWS new March release~Pillow Talk.
See his CUTE shades??? I used another stamp set from TAWS new release~ Words to live By and took the border scallop stamped it on white cardstock and cut out only to make it look like some shades
I added some stickles to a few of the shapes in the border stamp and tied the whole card together with some gorgeous 3GJ crinkle ribbon in Sunflower.
So that it my take on the inspiration~ I sure hope you play along with this fun cross promo challenge!!
