Color Blocked Birthday

Working on these cards was like having my own private party; I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! I generally gravitate towards the muted side of the rainbow spectrum. These cards, however, are bursting with full-color goodness. That’s the beauty of a great challenge {or three}—pushing me out of my element, charting new territory. Thanks Moxie Fab World for a little shove into the world of rainbows! 

Throughout my crafting hiatus the challenge that continues to tug on my heart is CAS-ual Fridays. As a CAS girl through and through I was trilled when they started teasing us with the Girl Friday intros. I LOVED this week’s theme: color blocking. {Be sure to stop by the Moxie Fab post they referred to if you need a refresher.} 

And last, but certainly not least is Jenny’s Wee Memories “Party Time” challenge. As mentioned earlier I really did feel like I was celebrating while working on these cards. I think these would make great party invitations by switching the sentiment to “It’s a Party!”

WHEW! There’s a reason I don’t usually combine challenges—it’s hard work adequately mentioning all of them. These ones just all melted together perfectly for my cards so I just couldn’t resist.

{I don’t have any Waltzing Mouse stamps yet so I’m not really entering this week’s challenge, but I did want to give credit where credit is due: Claire’s sketch was the inspiration for my layout. Thanks!}
