Time to Celebrate ...

Hello Friends ...

Even though I've got a busy day ahead of me starting with getting my hair cut & colored as well as a pedicure before leaving on our European Cruise, I wanted to play in a few challenges and here's what I created.

 

 My basic design was inspired by the 'Follow the Leader' challenge over on the AAA Cards Challenge Blog.  Here's their theme & leader's card inspiration:

   

I've used OLD Scrapbooking stickers to create my HB sentiment along with stamps from the Simon Says 'Birthday Bears - sss202509c' stamp set for the sentiment wording & balloon (I don't see where it's still available at their store ... sorry).  I decided on a birthday card so I could also play along in the Addicted to CAS Challenge #283

 

 and the Inkspirational Word Prompt 'Celebrate' challenge #342.

 

 By playing along in a few blogland challenges, I really didn't have to put a lot of thought into my card today ... the basics were already established for me.

I hope you have a fabulous day ahead and I also hope for my USA friends, that you had a memorable Memorial Day weekend.

As always, thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!

    Such a great color combo and fun CAS design! Enjoy your European cruise! How fabulous! Having lived in USA now for over 25 years but I still miss the European architecture so much in daily life.
