Cookin' Up Some Birthday Wishes

My blog has now been transferred to my new custom domain.  So my blog address is now www.SimplyPamsCreations.com.  I will also have a new look to my blog in a few weeks.  I'm so excited!  :)

This card I made is for my brother who LOVES to cook and experiment in the kitchen.  I was trying to figure out how to make the cuts more manly and the designer paper I found is perfect!  I found this little gem of a paper pack at Joanns.  It's called Cloud9 Design Specialty 12x12 paper pack.  It has the most beautiful and perfect blues, turquoise, browns and greys.  I absolutely love it.  I'm thinking about getting another one to have on hand.  It's perfect for boy projects, especially big boy (uh, I mean men) projects.  :)

I don't know if you can really see it in the pictures but I used the Distress Stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder on the white cardstock.  This folder is perfect for men as well.

On the inside of my card I put the 2nd spoon on the measuring cup cut.

There is a new challenge going on over at the Paper Playtime.  I am actually sponsoring this challenge.  To be eligible for the gift (below) head on over to the Paper Playtime blog and submit your project.

A new Simply Crafts challenge this Wednesday and a brand new challenge coming on Friday that I'm doing w/ someone who creates something unique.  It's going to be so much fun.  Make sure you stop by.  I should have videos on those two days as well.
