[Birthday Bash] Creative Birthdays - the Un-birthday Way

Hello everyone. I can't believe we have made it to Day 30. Just one more day, eh? So let's get right down to business...

Sneak Peek No. 5
September Neat & Tangled will be on Sept 9 - Sept 13. Can you guess what this one is all about? ;)

Well, I think this little set will come in quite handy in preparation for the holiday season...what do you think?

Birthday Q&A 

Our tough readers really know what they are looking for. Here is one that we addressed a little already along the way with this awesome inspiration by Jessica Pascarella or our Un-birthday Birthday challenge, which a bunch of you gals really knocked out of the park.

Happy birthday! I would love to see sets not normally associated with birthdays used for the birthday celebration - I love to see versatility!

I realized I don't have any of your birthday sentiments ... but still want to be inspired on how to make birthday cards with the stamps I do have.

But I gave this one to Design Team June to puzzle out and she created some lovely things and has a bunch of helpful tips along the way. So off you go to see what talented June has up her sleeve.

Hello, this is June Houck celebrating with you today!

  We are wrapping up (birthday humor) the month long celebration and giveaways to celebrate Neat and Tangled's first birthday.   Today, August 30th, is my mom's birthday, how appropriate is that?

  Ren-Yi has been hard at work addressing all of your inspiration requests, like this comment from my friend Stef:

  I know the lovely Stef has this "Just Hello" set, so I used the "what's up?" sentiment from "Just Hello" along with some Neat and Tangled "Birthday Bash Sequin Assortment" and "Little Tangles" as my balloon strings:

 and the other using Thickers:

Just Hello

Little Tangles

 Thanks for stopping by!  I'd like to see you use your non-birthday stamps to create a birthday card...and don't forget our current challenge:  Challenge #19 Eat Cake - ends Sept 1; free stamp set up for grabs.

Oh this is just perfect June! The key is really to look at what you have and make it all work with festive colors, birthday related objects, or put a sentiment together using Thickers or stickers! Both really are amazing! Thanks for sharing your ideas...
