Oh my kittens, so sorry for being so tardy.
It’s taking me a very long while to adjust to working again, being hit by The Plague didn’t help either.
So. The Challenge. It was my birthday on Thursday and my adorable little boy showered me with “presents” and cards. This week the challenge is to make a one-layer card inspired by one of his gifts or cards.
This first picture is not actually related to my birthday, but it’s too cute not too post.While I was at work a few weeks ago he snuck into my craft room and raided my stash. Kinda hard to be mad about it, eh?
The card says, “Mum is cool i love you”. Love how he filled in the missing “u” with a handwritten letter.
Friends love share
Inside of rainbow birthday card
A new Mercedes! (Well, new to me – it was lovingly given from his stash of cars.)
A blue block from his block collection (because my favourite colour is blue).
A handmade XKCD fan. (Yes, we ARE a house full of nerds.)
A couple of birthday notes – sweet and um…odd?
So, the challenge this week is to make a one-layer birthday card inspired by one, some, or all of the following:
Letters, a rainbow, a car, a blue square, a fan, a sweet message, a silly message.
Use your imagination and have some fun!

I just looked up xkcd. Thanks for that! Such a giggle.
What a FABULOUS challenge…and a belated happy birthday from me. I seem to be dropping all sorts of balls lately, and your birthday was one of them!
Happy late — glad you are feeling better! Thanks for the fun challenge — I loved his gifts to you! So sweet~
So glad to see you’re up and at ‘em again. I love that you’re raising a little card-maker! I’m sending belated birthday wishes your way — skip Facebook for a day and look what I miss.
Also wanted to add that your rainbow card is truly splendiferous.
Fun challenge, Jennifer. So far we all seem to be inspired by blue blocks! I loved the part about a silly message as it gave me the perfect chance to use one of my new Kay Foley sentiment stamps! Love your rainbow!
Lovely to play along – it is a sweet challenge idea!
I missed the inLinkz window, but I wanted to share my card anyway: http://www.criminalgrace.com/?p=4829
