Krafty Chicks Challenge #754: BIRTHDAY

Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Well, I blinked and it's now February. Week one has a BIRTHDAY theme on the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Create any paper craft with a birthday theme, male, female, kids, card, scrapbook or even home decor. We hope to see you in the gallery. Now let's get started with challenge

#754 BIRTHDAY

After creating the six layouts (3-two page spreads), I had some left over bits from the Everyday You & Me Scrapbook Kit that I wanted to use up. No need to build my paper stash; it's already mountain high. I also used Layout #21 on page 22 from Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalogue. Very fun and easy sketch!

I coloured the chipboard elements from the kit. First I used my Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends but it didn't really take. I tried the Stampin' Write marker next and it still didn't show an inkling of yellow. Last thing to try: dab the chipboard in the Craft White ink pad, let it dry, then colour it with the Stampin' Write marker, now it looks like Wild Wheat and it looks great.
