JUGS (Technique Challenge), Pals Paper Arts Inspiration Challenge and Stampin' 411 Sketch

**Just a reminder that I am offering BLOG CANDY...please see my post HERE for all details!**

I have had an "off" day for crafting!  Sheesh!  It took me most of the day to get into it and this is what I came up with.  I decided to combine three of my favourite Challenge Blogs and created two projects.  The theme is Birthday and I love the Whimsical feel of the colours.  I actually am really happy with the result!
The colours came from this photo from the Pals Paper Arts Blog.  I love these bright, cheery colours on the little jugs all piled up and immediately thought of my new "Sweet Scoops" set.
On the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog they have asked for a Pocket Card.  I love making Pocket Cards and thought I would continue on with my Birthday theme!  I used the "Sweet Scoops" set and the " Introducing Set" to make a sweet little birthday invite!  They are also holding a challenge to find a new Design Team Member, so go check out their blog and give it a whirl! 
The card uses the current Stampin' 411 Sketch!  I love their sketches because I always feel like the sketch allows me to create anything! I went for a lot of white space...I just love Whisper White paper and Real Red with it!!!!
My husband has been away for a week, visiting his family in Ontario.  He is due back today!  I am so looking forward to seeing him!!

Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles, Lesley :)

Paper: Real Red, Sage Shadow
