Happy Birthday 6 {The Kraft Journal}

Good Monday to you! 

{Sale Alert at Bottom of POST}

Hard to believe November is almost over. Tomorrow we move into the last month of the year. Wow!  The holidays are moving in on me like a freight train. My plan is to stay nice and laid back this year. No big plans. I will be missing my family tremendously. 

This week we have a color challenge at The Kraft Journal. I do hope you join us! 

I started with a card base of Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock. I took some green graph designer paper and added it to the bottom of the card adding a trim of Orange Baker's Twine. In the upper left corner I die-cut a circle (Spellbinders) and trimmed the edges. I die-cut and layered a 6 (PTI) using Brown Kraft Cover Weight cardstock and solid green designer paper. I formed a tiny double bow using more Orange Baker's Twine adding it to the bottom of the number.  Using my Cricut, I cut out a lion using the Create a Critter 2 Cartridge followed by paper piecing him, and embellished his party hat with some glitter before mounting with foam adhesive.
I stamped "Happy Birthday" (Paper Smooches) on orange cardstock that I cut into a banner adding to the lower left of the card. Last I added a few orange and green sequins for further embellishing. 

Here are the colors to use this week!
Please be sure to head over to the The Kraft Journal to check out the projects by the other talented ladies.  We hope to see your Color Inspiration creations in the gallery this week for your chance to be featured on our "Feature me Friday" post as well as be entered to win a $15.00 gift voucher from The Kraft Outlet store.
