The Taylored Expressions 5th Birthday Bash is continuing this week with a new Share Joy Campaign, benefitting the Union Rescue Mission of Los Angeles, Prodigal's Home of Phoenix, and Iowa Homeless Youth Shelter of Des Moines. Taylor chose these wonderful charities because they work tirelessly to bring comfort and care to many homeless individuals and families throughout the year. One way they are sharing joy each and every day is by celebrating the birthdays of their participants, and you can help by sending in your handmade birthday cards! Hasn't this week been fun!?
This week, Taylored Expressions have helped you to create with a different Birthday Inspiration Challenge each day. These charities need birthday cards of all kinds: child, adult, baby, so send in your funny, sweet, pretty, elegant, works of art and know that you will be brightening someone's day in a way only a handmade card can do. To get all the details on how to participate, please hop over to the Taylored Expressions Blog.
Here is the photo inspiration for today! I'm so excited that Taylor used one of my photos for this challenge and inspiration. TOO FUN! I decided to use the pretty color scheme to inspire me! Hot pink and bright green. YUMMMMY! I used the Butterfly Parade set and made a garden-y birthday card….
I cut out the quatrefoil plate in white and then trimmed it down to fit into this pretty label stacklet! I popped the whole thing on foam tape to add shadow and dimension to my card.
There are several design team members and alumni who have samples to share for today's inspiration, and readers can get the full link list on the TE blog! Hope you will go over and check out everything from this fun week. XO
