Birthday Cards for DTC #185

 It took me a little while to decide what I would make for the new challenge at Double Trouble, but I finally decided to make this pair of birthday cards.  

(inside)

The theme for Double Trouble Challenge #185 is

3-2-1 Recipe "Hoodie Hoo Day"

Of course, I'll also be entering the Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge # 664.

 and also the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

 

Double Trouble Challenge #184

 

This week's Double Trouble Challenge theme is

 "3-2-1 Recipe - Love is in the Air

 

 Here's my card:

 I generally try to collect as many chances for the DTC random drawing as possible. 

I managed to include all the recipe ingredients plus some.  

I followed the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #663. 

 

although I switched the circle for a rectangle and moved my second shapes to the upper corners.  

Notice the little heart in the middle of each.

Including a heart was very easy, but a conversation heart I just couldn't do.

 

(My printer still is not printing in color, so I hand colored the digi image from Imagine That with markers.  The sentiment is from IT as well.  The cute heart border is a Pink and Main die cut.  And the half inch paper strips are from SU.)

Thanks for visiting.

 The theme for the February Challenge at

Send a Smile 4 Kids 

is "Fun Folds."

 Anything Goes for kids is always acceptable, too.

We just want to see your wonderful creations

Making fun fold cards is my favorite card making technique.

And my 4 grandsons enjoy receiving this type of card.

 

Here is the card I have made for this challenge.

It is already in the pile of cards that I will be mailing to

It would be great if you joined the fun at the
