Happy Birthday DD

Since our DD is fond of all things furry, I chose this fun little Hamster Eating Cupcake image from Mo Manning for her birthday card. I knew that coloring fur would be a total challenge for me, so decided this was the perfect chance to jump into it for the Copic Creations Challenge No. 19. Thanks to my BBGF (best blogging GF) Gwen alerting me to a new challenge she found, I'm entering here: The Pink Elephant Challenge #49, which is simply to make a birthday card. Love that!
EDITED TO ADD: Just found Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #13, so I'm also adding my little hamster there!

TEBBTV Challenge #1

Since I decided to combine my Christmas card with a Sketch Challenge for Taylored Expressions Birthday Bash, I decided I'd see how many I could get done -- there are THIRTEEN (yep, 13) challenges in all, so we'll see how many I manage to achieve between now & Wednesday midnight! Should be fun to try anyway!!! Taylor did the first challenge found here. My inspiration was this cupcake card, combining Hero Arts cuppie with a sentiment from Impression Obsession. Paper is DCWV DP and PTI's Vintage Cream CS (lime CS unknown), Pastel Raspberry Liquid Pearl frosting and "sequin" sprinkles from Hero Arts.

You're so. . .Sweet Cupcakes by Inkadinkado

Ever since the Designing Devas were here a couple Saturdays ago and Gwen loaned me her cupcake set to play with, I've been in a cupcake mood! I purchased this Inkadinado Birthday Cupcake set with a 50% off coupon at Michaels because Judy also brought hers to play with & I realized I NEEDED it! ;-) This is just a fun, simple little card that could work for so many occasions!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge 2 by Dawn McVey

Well, you know the ole saying, "the best-laid plans of mice and men". . . so I missed the deadline, but had a blast making my little chocolate cuppy card anyway! My sweet friend, Gwen, kindly loaned me her Hero Arts Cupcake stamps. I've wanted these forever, so I had to play with them! Thanks, Gwen!!! I had hoped to create a male-appropriate cupcake card & thought these colors chosen by Dawn for her 2nd color challenge would achieve that goal nicely -- what do you think? If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you'll better see my embossed Birthday edge, which is a fabulous new card treat to use. Our card group met here last Saturday and this trick was shared by our talented friend Judy who sadly does not have a blog -- you'd really enjoy visiting it -- believe me!!! To see the cards our group made visit our group's blog!!! We're just beginning to post there!
