RCC#81: Celebrations {post1}

Hello, friends:}

**After 9am--please click HERE or scroll up/down for my Mama Elephant highlight post.

Have you played along with this month's Ribbon Carousel challenge yet??? The RCC is now doing monthly challenges with a huge prize at the end for one lucky player!!! The prize::: a ribbon carousel!!!!!! This month's theme/challenge--- Celebrations! 

I have been wanting to create a birthday card with this sentiment on it for about six months! I used some old Cosmo Cricket 2wenty-thr3e papers along with some grey vintage seam binding-- I actually wrapped it around the card and tied a bow (but the center panel hides it). I made that brad using the Imaginisce iTop and then stamped the sentiment using several Paper Smooches stamp sets {including Digits, Christmas Sampler, Warm Hearts, Birthday Buddies, Chit Chat, and Perky Plants}. I love love love how it turned out! And I actually played along with a sketch challenge-- or kind of:) I used the Seize the Birthday sketch as my inspiration. **I know that I moved the two circles together and the center panel over... I did a loose interpretation of this sketch:)

That's it for me today--but make sure you stop by the RCC blog for more details for this challenge and DT inspiration!!! And click HERE to link up your creation!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}
