Birthday Thoughts

I actually started making cards today because I needed thinking of you cards and I wound up making a birthday and Christmas card tonight. Go figure! Since I needed multiple cards so I went back to the Spring Card Camp 1 techniques and used one to make the backgrounds for several cards that you'll see this week.

Kristina Werner gave us templates to use with designer paper. So I used the MFT Merry & Bright paper pack. I die cut the designer paper with Gina Marie Designs Cross Stitched Rectangles (retired). The main image is from Bugaboo Stamps called Jesse Boy Bear. I colored him with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut him. The clouds are die cut from Spellbinders Conversation Bubbles 4 and then I cut the little conversation tab off to make them look like clouds. The sentiments on the clouds are from Jillibean Soup Balloon Party (Party, Let's Celebrate, and stars) and W Plus 9 Unforgettable *(Happy Birthday). I am entering these challenges:

• Catch the Bug challenge: anything goes
• Scrapping4Fun challenge: birthday
• Incy Wincy: curves
• 2 Crafty Critter Crazies: use a critter
• Crafty Hazelnut Patterned Papers: use patterned paper
• Outlawz Festive Friday: child's birthday

That's all for me tonight. Past my bedtime. For those of you who might be wondering, my brother is still battling the coronavirus. They moved him to a military hospital since San Antonio has a huge amount of cases. He is in the ICU on a ventilator. The last report that I received said his numbers look good so we are hoping he can beat this. If you have a few spare prayers we could sure use them. Thanks! Please stay safe!
