YAY! I am very honoured to have been chosen to be Guest Designer over at Stamps R Us! :)
This time the challenge has a BIRTHDAY theme, so a nice and easy one to join in with ;)
The challenge is also a special 'Operation Write Home' (OWH) event.
OWH is an organization that sends handmade cards to US armed forces in Iraq & Afghanistan for them to write home on.
Once you have made your card, and if it is suitable to send to one of the dedicated shippers (for example - NO GLITTER allowed), please consider passing it on to them, where it will be very much appreciated.
All details can be found on the Operation Write Home website. Thank you.

The challenge is sponsored by The Paper Shelter
who have a generous prize package for one lucky winner, could it be you?
The Design Team and myself were kindly given free images to use on our cards (Thank you!), here's what I made with mine...
Using 'Happy Birthday To Me!' by The Paper Shelter
printed 3 times & coloured with Promarkers, then layered in places.
The pretty background paper is by Echo Park (little girl)
The sentiment is a SeeD's stamp, and I punched out the tab shape and made the flowers and the rounded corners using a mix of punches.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
MMCS challenges - happy birthday
Passion for Promarkers - beary special

Here's my second card...
Using 'Little Cowboy' by The Paper Shelter
also printed 3 times & coloured with Promarkers, then layered in places.
I used a pair of shaped scissors and my cropadile to alter the 2 layers of cardstock around the image.

The background paper is My Mind's Eye (Stella Rose - Hattie)
and the green paper is by Sizzix (little sizzles - country)
The brown strips are just card scraps, but I thought it worked somehow by layering/weaving them through the green paper.
The sentiment was printed off the computer.
I wanted to add embellishments too, and thought that a sheriff's badge would look good, but I don't have any, so the little stars punched from copper coloured cardstock will do instead.
I would like to also enter this card into the following challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - anything goes
Prairie Fairy Fridays - snips & snails
Stamptacular Sunday - use a sentiment
Kaboodle Doodles - lots of layers
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see your entries for this weeks Stamps R Us challenge :)
