Happy Birthday 2 U - Book Box

Good Morning!!!!!!  You may think I am excited, but really I'm' not!!! It's Sunday and although I love a new challenge at Paper Sundaes, it also means an end to the weekend and work tomorrow morning. So sad! I think I need to be back on my Cruise..yep. Anybody a travel agent? hehehe JK!! 

Anybody see Something Borrowed? I saw it yesterday with my girlfriends and I thought it was really good. Close to the book (which is always good IMO) not exact..but it was still good. I do hope they make the book "Something Blue" into a movie too!  I really liked the book. Right now I am reading "Beastly", it's pretty good so far. Not a long book, I should be finished with it tonight. After that I have to find a new series or author to read. Any suggestions..please let me know!  I am always on the look out for new authors and series. I'm not big into Sci-Fi...but I love most other types of books. I even like the Tweeny vampire type books. I just read a great series (My Blook Approves) by a E-book auther, Amanda Hocking. Personally I thought it was much better than Twilight...yes you read that right!! Next in line is "The House of Night" series.

On to my project. We are having a Birthday celebration at Paper Sundaes and Simon Says Stamp is our Sponsor!!  We would love to see anything Birthday - cards, gift bags...projects. Whatever...let's see them. I had this bright idea to make one of those books that i have been seeing around the blogs. I got the idea off the Whiff of Joy Tutorial blog.  I loved the concept, but it was not the easiest thing to put together, for me at least. First, all the directions I was able to find are in cm's. 2nd, it's not easy to get these folds to go together. But it's done and I do LOVE how it came out.

I colored "Tilda with Flower Pot" with Copic Markers. Simon Says carries these items!!  The paper is from an awesome 6x6 Pad from Echo Park.  The ribbon is Stampin' Up. The film strip is from Tim holtz and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

I do love how it came out...I just wish it wasn't such a pain the you know what to put together!! Haha  Somebody quite special will be getting this..lol  You know, one of the few people that you know appreciates the work thats been put into it!!

Now, check out the other DT projects, you are sure to get some inspiration!!  -  Paper Sundaes DT  Also the new DT for Paper Sundaes was announced the other day. We have 4 fabulous ladies joining us!! YAY!  Another annnouncment. I LOVE my Paper Sundaes girls, however, my schedule has been a bit hectic lately so I will not be designing for them FULL time anymore. I do plan on joining in a couple times a month but it will not be weekly as in the past! ;-(  Maybe in a few months things will slow down for me and I will be able to dedicate the proper time!! Until then I will stay a part-timer!
