Day 132 of 365 Cards

In my series of blog hops yesterday (you know, where you just keep clicking and finding inspiration -- never knowing where you're headed, just clicking on link after link after link ...), I stumbled across this blog called 365 Cards. An inspiration a day. A card a day. A great place to go to get that mojo going, don't you think?

So, "just for kicks" I pop on over there today (at 5am, since I cannot sleep). I see the inspiration. Ahh, birthday. Then I scroll down for the design team's creations. There, I see it. A card that completely inspires because I have the perfect stamp set in my collection! And, so - yes, around 515am - I begin to create. What a great way to start the day, don't you think?


For Day 132, this is the card I created (which is very much inspired by Sophie's card, if your couldn't tell!). Sherry's ad led me to choose white and primary colors for my card's palette today, as well as the red/white polka dot ribbon. I put stickles on the candle flames.

Supplies - Tools: Fiskars eyelet border. Stamp sets: (all CTMH) Spunky Greeting and It's Your Day [August 2009 SOTM]. Colors: (all CTMH) Black, Holiday Red, Sunny Yellow, Clover Meadow, Dutch Blue, Hydrangea. Embellishment: ribbon, stickles.
