Today's PTI 7th Anniversary challenge is all about birthdays. I have three cards today, and they also use the technique from this week's Make it Monday #151 and a sketch and color scheme from the Recipe Challenge.
I was inspired by Jacquie's colorful birthday banner for this card.
I liked this card so much, I made another, using a different color scheme.
OK, I got my daughter to take a picture of me with one of the cards. I'm with Sherlock, who has turned into an awesome crafting buddy.
I had plans to make more today, but I ran out of time.
Thanks for Visiting
Gorgeous banners Joyce!!! Perfectly CAS. Very Pretty :)

ReplyDeleteLove the banners - fabulous pops of color on the white! Really love the birthday card with the numbers embossed on the curved panel - thanks for the shout-out :)
ReplyDeleteAll your cards are fabulous Joyce. I love the curved edge at the top of the first 2 cards. And your picture with Sherlock is so much fun.

ReplyDeleteFantastic cards, Joyce! Those banner cards are just darling. Love them. And the clock card is absolutely perfect for that sketch. Wonderful. Bev
ReplyDeleteThe banner cards are cute but that clock face is so elegant. I can't seem to find time, or the right colors to make any cards for the birthday party.
ReplyDeleteI thought those banner cards were terrific...until I saw the clock! Wow! I think that's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Joyce! The embossing at the top looks fabulous with the banners. Wonderful design that could be changed for lots of occasions. And the clock design would make a perfect masculine card. Love the picture of you and Sherlock. If he's like my guys, helping consists of curling up and napping!
ReplyDeleteI love how you created the colored "shadows" behind the flags - it really makes them pop! And your clock card is gorgeous and classy - a great guy card! As for Sherlock he looks about as enthused about your cards as Atticus is about mine! LOL! "Mom making cards means I'm not going for a walk or playing ball!!"
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of you and Sherlock, Joyce! I absolutely ADORE your banner/shadows cards!! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteWow, great banner cards! I have that set and am definitely CASing your shadow technique.
ReplyDeleteThe cards with the banners along the edge are really nifty and clever. I like the added bit of embossing in there.
