Birthday Sundaes challenge

Nothing like a last minute entry for a challenge, right?  This week's challenge at Birthday Sundaes was to create a tall or long birthday card.  Here's my entry:

I used my Fruit Medley stamp set from The Rubber Cafe that I got at last spring's Scrapbook Expo, some ribbon I had in my stash, and a card sketch from the CTMH book Wishes.  Thanks for stopping by!

New cards!!!

Hello, everyBODY!!!!  (Said in my best Super Grover voice!)  I hope you all had a great week and are having an even better weekend.  The Scrapbook Expo was at the Del Mar Fairgrounds close to San Diego this weekend, so I spent most of today down there.  I got some stuff I was looking for to work on my mom's Mother's Day present (which I'd better get done TOMORROW so I can get it in the mail!) and picked up a few other things as well.

I was also fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take the Fabulous Folds class, taught by Melissa of The Rubber Cafe.  I LOVED her class, and I brought home the kits to make two more cards, in addition to the two we made in the class.  Here are the two from Melissa's class:

Once I got home, I made ANOTHER card!  This one is for the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin's monthly card challenge and satisfies the challenge requirement to include a handmade candle on your card.

The wording on this card is from the Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge and was cut at 2" and 3".  I used Fruit Punch Stickles on the work "blow" and just outlined the other words with a marker.

My Lasting Memories layout will be a little bit late this week, as I spent so much time at the Scrapbook Expo today that I didn't have time to get it done when I got home!
