Pretty In Pink

 Hello there!

Well, as they say, better late than never.  I'm a few days late getting my card up for the current Seize The Birthday.  It's been a very chaotic and stressful couple of months so my crafting has been pretty nonexistent except for a crafty day with Bonnie a few weeks ago. Long story short, my FIL has Alzheimer's and we had to help my Hub's stepmom move him into a memory care unit last month and it has not gone well since.  The last week has thankfully been the best week for him yet so praying all the adjustments that have had to be made are beginning to help. 

So now onto my card, my "pretty in pink" birthday card.  Nancy is our host this fortnight and she has chosen "Primarily Pink" as the Topping. I took my card one way at first but then it ended up as shown here, which I like much better.  Sometimes you just have to trust the process.




I kept thinking about what I wanted to create and I realized I haven't made a "traditional" birthday card in a while so I went with cake.  The cake is by Catherine Pooler Designs(CP Designs).  My background is Honey Bee Stamps stamped in Cotton Candy on a Cotton Candy card front. And the frame is Pink Fresh Studios.  The inks, Cotton Candy and It's A Girl by CP Designs.



So I hope you join us in our Primarily Pink Toppings challenge.  Of course, if you're not into the Toppings, you can always play in our Anything Goes Challenge as long as it is a birthday card!


Please check out the rest of my teammate's cards on the STB blog.  Lots of pretty pinkness there! Also, a big welcome to our winner of our last challenge, Heather, who is joining us. And, this is the last challenge for our Surprise Guest from the past two months, Jennie. So give them all lots of blog love!

Thank you for visiting my blog and hope you come back soon!
