I hope you're having a terrific Tuesday!
I am just popping in with a birthday card I made for my friend Barb G of Barb's Studio Creations, Happy Birthday to yoooooo and many, many more!! I hope you enjoy your special day! If you don't know Barb, you should check out her blog where you will find gorgeous CAS card art!!
There is a party going on up in this card's head. From looking at it, you won't be surprised to hear that Hammy the hamster is back from his dallydiddly in Hollywood making those Sprint commercials. Ms. Thing was able to visit for the entire last week and I'm pretty sure she went home with a lot of blingadingadoo coz the little Hammy dude came home with little empty Hammy pockets! Which is fine with me, otherwise there would be no living with a Hamster Of Means, if you know what I mean. He is back up in my head where he belongs, he is newly humbled, and he went right to work making this foo-foo fabulous party card for Barb!
The DSP papers, ribbon, and sediment are all from Stampin' Up. The tag is from My Favorite Things "Tag You're It," the embossing powder is from Zing, and the embellies are from Mrs. Grossman, Mr. K. and my stash.
I am finally getting the opera tuna tea to play in the new The Challenge sketch challenge created by the multi-talented and energetic Lesley! Here is the sketch:

Another challenge owned by the busy Lesley is Seize the Birthday and I'm also entering my card there. The current challenge is "Anything Goes" with no toppings, so how easy is that? Make sure you pop over and enter those birthday cards you're making!

I may not be on again for a couple of days. I am off to have my head eyes examined and for various reasons, it takes my eyes a long time to recover from dilation. I was an unruly pupil as a child and the pupils in my eyes act out in the same way! When I get home, they will go straight to the Naughty Chair!

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy. LITS!*
As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!
