BE Inspired 29 & Seize the Birthday

TGIF!!! Are you as glad as I am that it's Friday? This week seemed to zip by thanks to having a holiday on Monday.  Can you believe we are at the end of MAY already?  Almost time for the kids to be done school and summer holidays to start - can't wait.

So, it's time for the next installment of the TAWS BE Inspired challenge.  This week's photo is a fun one - reminds me of a birthday party!  As usual, I also went with the colors in the photo and created a fun birthday card using images from Wish BIG:

The sketch is loosely based on the Seize the Birthday sketch - I took a few liberties to make it my own and fit the image I wanted to use:

Take a few minutes to pop back to the TAWS blog to see how the other girls played with this inspiration photo - I'll be back on Sunday with a brand new Sweet Sunday Sketch!  See you then!


 

Wish BIG Sneak Peek & JUGS 181

Are you as excited as I am????  I can't believe another month has passed so quickly and we're already in the midst of another fantastic release from The Alley Way Stamps.  Today we're sneak-peeking the third set, Wish BIG, and it's an AMAZING birthday set...a wrapped gift, a party hat, balloons and a banner - and the sentiments I {love}.

Here's my card using one of those sentiments:

I also used the Just Us Girls' color combo and a Seize the Birthday sketch - too late for STB but I loved the simplicity of the sketch...perfect for those last minute cards!

What do you think?  I know it doesn't really show the awesomenosity of the entire set, but I bet the rest of the girls can help you with that one.  Stop on over at the TAWS blog to see what else the talented ladies have done with this set.

See you on Saturday for our TAWS Blog Hop where you could win all three of the new sets!
