3, 2, 1 Happy Birthday

Hi!

(This is my second post of the day...to check out my Merry Monday/Inspired By Stamping Happy Holiday card click here)

A very quick post as I have to get out the door... Let's just say my week has been hectic with appointments, obligations, volunteering, and all the short stuff activities that keep the roads hot.

My son is invited to a birthday party tomorrow, and well {gasp} I had just resided to the fact I was going to have to pick up a store bought card.  He looks at me this morning with big eyes and said, "We're BUYING a card?" So with that said, arm twisted a mad dash to the craft room took place and I hit the scraps running! I seriously used the top two pieces of scrap patterned paper in the pile and went from there using the 3 2 1 challenge at Shopping our Stash as well as the Sparks Designers Draft Challenge at Paper Smooches. This card took me about 9 minutes. If ya'll know me well enough I have stated many times I am the slowest cardmaker ever, so the fact that I made a card under 10 minutes is nothing short of a miracle. 

I started with a piece of textured cardstock that was leftover from another make and added a white panel to the card front that has had strips of Washi Tape added to the left side of the panel.  The Zebra from Paper Smooches Zoo Crew was stamped on some yellow striped patterned paper and fussy cut then added to my scallop die-cuts.  A button which has been laced with twine and tied off in a bow was added to the left side of the zebra. 

All that was left was to add the Happy Birthday sentiment from Paper Smooches Party Possse.

As mentioned, I gained my inspiration from Shopping Our Stash 3, 2, 1. I used 3 Washi Tapes, 2 Patterned Papers, and 1 Button.

The layout was inspired by the Sparks Designer Draft.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and peek!  I hope you have a fine Friday!
