Combining Challenges again.

It is Friday so that of course means our Blogger's Challenge group will be making some great cards for you enjoyment and you can play along too if you wish since it is now a blog hop!  Our challenge theme for the week is Birthdays!  Can't get any easier than that.  I combined my sample with two other challenges.  One being the Latenightstamper's challenge to use a bit O' green and the other being a one on one swap challenge card to use the colors Always Artichoke and River Rock.  Not sure why but I really do not use River Rock much so I am grateful for the chance to do so.  I was looking to make an elegant yet simple card and I really think I did just that!  Don't you love when that happens, lol!  Anyway enough chatter, here is my card....





and the inside too (I don't show you the inside much just because I am so stinkin lazy, lol)





Hope you enjoy checking out all the samples.  Have a great day!  TGIF!
