Birthday Sundaes Challenge #1

It's an exciting day!  Today is the opening challenge for the new challenge blog BIRTHDAY SUNDAES!!!  These challenges are going to be so much fun because we all need Birthday cards!  The challenge this week is Anything Goes Birthday and the Design Team has some fun cards to inspire you today!  Kristie, the founder of Birthday Sundaes will be sponsoring the prize this week.  This week you'll be playing for the chance to win the super cute Cupcake Ruby from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps! 

Here is my Birthday Sundaes creation for this week!

 I apologize for the light to dark pics this week.  My baby E got a hold of my camera and did some major damage to the settings!  I have gotten it back to where the pics are not all blurry but I still need to work on it!  Anyway, I used Doodlecharms, an oldie but goodie cart for my first Birthday Sundae creation.  I dug into my scrap pile for the Bo Bunny Sun Kissed Line as well as the coordinating Double Dot paper for this fun card.

I added tons of dimensionals to get lots and lots of layers.  This isn't a card that is going to be mailed to anyone, that is for sure!!  I may even have a hard time giving it away!

If you've visited my blog lately, you'll see that I've been playing with ribbon in some different ways!  This cut has a little topper but I wanted something bigger, so I used my scissors to cut that off and added ribbon to the top!

And I added a little ribbon ruffle accent to the bottom of the hat too.

Here is an inside look at the hat.  I sponged the circles, the bottom ribbon was sewn on and the top ribbons were taped onto this layer!
