Happy Birthday

Hi there!  Happy Monday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  We had a day of wild weather yesterday and we're supposed to get some more tonight.  Luckily no tornado warnings, at least as of now, just heavy rain, high winds and thunderstorms.  I'm popping in now to post my project in case we lose power later. I finished up a little project I was working on just for fun, although it fits a couple of challenges, too.  I love doing these pop-up boxes.  They look hard, but are actually very easy!

Here is what I made:


The pop-up base and inserts are GKD Turquoise Sea and the fun patterned papers are from the Pink Paislee House of Three Collection.  I used three cute images for the box.  They are Little Wishes, Party Present and Party Play by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I stamped them on MiC Blending Card and colored them with my Copics.  I fussy-cut them and added them to the box.  The sentiment is Create With TLC.  A few party present stickers from Jolee's finished my card.
 
Here are a couple of close-ups:
 
 

Thanks for stopping by!  We've got our BFFs coming from out of state to visit tomorrow, so as soon as I get everything in order for that, I will be around to visit.

I am entering my project in the following challenges:
Sweet Pea Stampers (birthday challenge)
Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans Facebook Art Contest (anything SPS)
Digi Galore (anything but a card)

Have a great evening and see you soon!

    North of you, we did have tornado warnings and my neighbor and I, along with her dogs, had to go for shelter. Glad you were o.k.
