OCC Birthday Challenge

Hello OCC friends! Thanks to all who played in last week's Fall color challenge - you all are the best!!

This week's challenge, by August host Dawn Easton, is to make a birthday card. We can all use those, eh? (Cards, that is, not necessarily birthdays, LOL!) There's no time limit on our challenges. Please feel free to participate in any of our challenges at any time. To play along, just post your project to your blog or gallery, then include a link in the comments so we can check it out. If you upload to SCS, use keyword: OCCC.

Our August guest designer, Julee Tilman of Poetic Artistry, is back this week with a super cute birthday sample:






Next, take a look at what the OCC designers have come up with:


By Dawn Easton - Treasure Oiler Designz




By Cindy Haffner - Cindy Haffner's Corner




By Lynda Benden - Stamp Act




By Denise Marzec - The Paper Landscaper



By Jennifer Meyer - Jennifer's Sweet Designs




By Amy Sheffer - Pickled Paper Designs:




Happy creating this week! Thanks for stopping by!
