Heart's Quest Challenge Blog #46

 
One of the things I love about being on the snarky stameprs design team is checking out all of the amazing creations that others make. 

Sometimes I come across a new (to me) challenge blog and I just cant resist playing along.

For the Heart's Quest Challenge Blog #46 I used from part A - image of a girl and from part B heart shaped sticker.

I based my cards on the scrapbook nerd Wild Card Wednesday #48 with paper weaving.

Scraptures Wild Card Wednesday - March 30, 2016

Time for the last SCRAPTURES Wild Card Wednesday for March.

I've had fun making birthday cards this month with the "Let's Party" collection by Simple Stories. I love the bright colours and the designs of the papers.

Because it's the last week of the month (and I can't count) I made two cards this week.

The first card will be for Kevin's aunt who has a birthday in early April. She is in her 70's so there will be lots of candles!

This second card is for my dear old pot & pan (my dad) who is turning 70!!??!! on April 26.

Shite I used to make these cards:

• Let's Party "Make a Wish" design paper (Simple Stories)
• Let's Party "It's Your Day" design paper (Simple Stories)
• Let's Party "Pocket Pieces" (Simple Stories)
• Let's Party "Bits n Pieces" (Simple Stories)
• White cardstock (Fireworx - not in kit)

Happy Wednesday! Thanks for coming by today to check out my newest SCRAPTURES Wild Card Wednesday project.

The Journalling Card Elements in this month's kit make it quick and easy to put together some super cute birthday cards.

I love how the words fade away in spots on the "It's Your Day" paper.

When I saw the pickle, I knew that would be for a co-worker who has his birthday in April, he's a practical joker so I know he will appreciate the "big dill"

This month's SCRAPTURES kit has been great for increasing my stash of birthday cards. I love that the papers would work for anyone, not too girlie, not too masculine.

I absolutely adore this lime green polka dot "Yippee" design paper. I used to have a pair of lime green shorts with white polka dots that looked just like the paper. I loved those shorts...how I miss them!!
