For me, June is the month with the most family birthdays, including DH and DD. So for this challenge, create anything that is birthday related!! Cards, layouts, decor, gifts. Can't wait to see what you create! grammadee, please add this to the master list. |

Great challenge, LisaDV! Many of our family birthdays are in July, but this will give me the incentive to get those cards done REALLY early! Now if I don't manage to lose them once I have created them I will be ahead of the game for a change! |

Now if I don't manage to lose them once I have created them I will be ahead of the game for a change! I so get this!! I made 3 of mine during in April. You should have seen me turning everything over to find them now that I need them today!! I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I could lose something right in front of my face sometimes. |

I'm so excited at this card. It's for my (next Friday) 5 year old great niece. I forgot how much I like the honeycomb. That cupcake, bird, cherry stamp set has to be from 2011. The happy birthday I just bought in April and is Avery Elle.  Birthday card by Lisa Davolt, on Flickr Claiming points for Happy Birthday, Color It and 1 for doing, 1 for sharing. |

I have no birthday pages for June. My birthday was in May but I scrapped those photos in May. Maybe there is a chance my son snapped a photo of his fiancee on her 21st birthday 2 weeks ago, but I'm not hopeful.

If you unearth a birthday photo of you as a child, you could scrap that for this challenge and for the Land Before Time challenge. |

I've scrapped all my childhood photos but I do want to redo that album at some point. My son sent me some awful photos taken at his fiancee's party and I will make some kind of birthday layout out of those. |

I wonder if my sister has any of me from way back when. |

I'm claiming a point for this and it's probably a bit sketchy but I used the Maggie Holmes Confetti line, which is a birthday collection. And I bunged 2 balloons on this LO! The title is obviously meant to be for a birthday LO too but I'm using it cause I'd just had my hair coloured lol!  |

I didn't think I would have a birthday layout this month but I scrapped the few photos of my daughter in law to be 21st birthday.  |

@ kelleem- pretty layout kiwigirl- great use of icons! Who knew that giraffes would work for a birthday layout? grammadee- you are knocking the texture look out of the park this month. myboysnme- Isn't it fun to have a GIRL to scrap? that 21 paper is really cool. Yesterday was dedicated to card making. I needed a break after all the graduation cards last month, but the challenges here got my mojo going. I made 4 of the Lightning McQueen cards. (they are stamped inside & the envelope is stamped.) I am going to count this as 1 card(as suggested on the Christmas card post- 1 point per design.) There were 100's of pieces to this card & I just stopped when I thought it looked good. Am not sure where all those tiny pieces belonged, but I think it looks fine. The star card was lots of fun- tried Jennifer McGuire's technique with oxide inks to get a night sky effect. It's ok. I'm not sure what I am really going for here. The emoji card was definitely inspired by the emoji challenge. I know my 12 yo DGS will love it. Points: Created:3, posted photos:3, Happy Birthday:3, Random Icons:1, Stamp It:3, Color it:1 Grand total: 14  June Challenge by Pati Nuce, on Flickr |

grammadee, your foil sun burst is fantastic. I love how it fades at the edges. myboysnme, fabulous double pager. Love the large bottom banner with the 21 patin, Love your cards. I have a little great nephew who would love the mcqueen card, he was little shoes with Lighting McQueen on them. The star card with the banners coming out is fantastic. and, I seriously giggled at the poop googley eye card.

I keep a batch of "card kits" around that I've precut and put in little separate bags. I use them up when my mojo is dead or we are traveling or I'm sitting at a car show with DH. When I get a stack made I send them off to a lady who sends cards to those serving in the military. I'm claiming these for Birthday Cards and the Make It RAK It challenges
I've done some over the last several days - -
This one is a My Scrap Chick file -
These are also My Scrap Chick - at least I think that's what they are
I don't remember where are couple of these came from, but I know I designed at least one of them

gramma, that's so sweet of you to send them off to the military. They will appreciate having such fantastic card choices. I like the idea of having card kits around. KikiPea, so did you do something exciting for your birthday?
