It's Been Awhile, But HHH Is Back!

I've been making some cards for the Unity Birthday Challenge and thought they would be perfect to share with you for HHH! I LOVED the One Layer Birthday card challenge, which really surprised me, but I made two (very similar) cards!
I like how my card turned out, but I wish I had a tiny little stamp to say "Over the Hill" since that was the intent of the card. I think that the stamp of the hill is self-explanatory enough though.

Stamps: Birthday Chic, Nov. KOTM

Paper: Core'dinations Cardstock

Ink: White

Accessories: Prima Flowers, Ribbon, word window punch, swiss dots

Stamps: April KOTM

Paper: Kraft

Ink: chocolate chip, antique linen distress ink

Accessories: ribbon, kaiser pearls (pewter)

Retreating....

I'm half excited and half not-excited (un-excited? is that a word?!). Jon and I are going on a Pastor's and spouse retreat today. I'm the spouse, so I get to go!! (<--- that was a sad attempt at being funny!) The "work retreat" part is less then exciting to me... I don't know anybody else there... I don't like strangers! HOWEVER, we are going to Osage Beach/Lake of the Ozarks (in Missouri), where it is beautiful! And the weather is supposed to be perfect!!! So I'm happy for good weather and a beautiful place to go! On another downside, I just got my brand spankin' new, shiny black Big Shot from SU! (yay!!) I also got my April KOTM from Unity....and I want to PLAY!!!!!!!!!! Ahh well, next week I'll be playing.

So have a great weekend all and I'll see ya next week!! Pin It Now!

Okay, first of all, I totally was jumping up and down because Mandy featured my Limelight Challenge card on her blog yesterday. HELLO HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!

Okay, here's the card. I really love how this turned out! The challenge was to use a wheel (haven't used one in YEARS!!) and we must use the following:
1 Wheel (Swirly Wheel, SU!)
1 Image stamp (Birthday Chic, Unity)
1 Sentiment stamp (Birthday Chic, Unity)
1 Embellishment (Top Note Die...does that count?!?)
