For Your Birthday Easel Card---Join the Fun at 613 Avenue Create for our 2nd Annual Block Party! Lots of Prizes to be Won...

Good Sunday morning, everyone!  I am not scheduled to make a project today but because it's our 2nd Annual Block Party in my neighborhood, 613 Avenue Create, the Team A DT's created with Team B to bring you an awesome Challenge Party.  You would not believe the load of prizes we prepared for everyone who will join our Anything Goes with Optional Twist (1,001 Techniques) Challenge as well as those who would play our exciting DT Trivia.  You will also find some links for tutorial on different techniques many paper crafters love to use and may learn a lot from those you have not tried yet.  So, I will reserve my "inspirational post" next week and instead, share with you the link to the exciting DT Trivia Questions you can try and answer in exchange for some awesome prizes.  You will find the questions, how to play, and where to submit your answers through this link:  


For my Card today, I included several techniques namely Easel Card, Layering, Die Cutting, Fussy Cutting, Alcohol markers coloring, Paper Piecing. Handmade Brad and Sewing.   I used an image from one of our sponsors this week, A Day for Daisies.  It's called "Strawberry Birthday Cake" that I paper pieced and colored using my ProMarker/Prismacolor markers.  The base is a white CS, cut and scored to make a 5.5 inches Easel style card.  The DP's are all from my stack of scraps from different companies.  I used Spellbinders for the Lacy Oval and an MS Punch to shape a panel's border.  I custom made a brad using my I-top, added some glitters (Stickles-Crystal) to the cake image and attached a few white nail head gems from Imaginisce.  The sentiment beside the cake is from Stampendous while the ones by the message space is from Studio G.  The funny and main sentiment is from Create with TLC (I love it!  Thanks, Paulette!).  Lastly, lots of stitching done in this card.

This it for now, guys.  Make sure to join the fun at  our 2nd Annual Block Party at 613 Avenue Create---for an Anything Goes Challenge and DT Trivia Questions.  If you want to be challenged (like I was), take on the Optional Twist (1,001 Techniques).  We have gazillion sponsors (too many to name) giving away fabulous prizes.  Can't wait to see what you create as well as read your lovely comments. Thanks for all the support you gave us the past couple of years at 613 Avenue Create and looking forward for many more.  I thank the Lord for enabling me to share the hope that comes from spreading the Gospel through this Blog.  I'm grateful for the support of all the other DT's as well as Chana and Kathi (owners of 613 Avenue Create) for their constant patience and encouragement.  Leaving you with God's Word in Ephesians 6:13-15 which says, "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace."  God bless, everyone!
