SSiC # 155 + Birthday Blog Hop!

This Sunday is SSiC's 3rd Birthday and we invite you to celebrate with us by way of a Birthday Blog Hop!! 

Helen is our lovely challenge hostess this week.  The challenge is to make a birthday card and is inspired by this Scripture:  John 3:3

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Please be sure to read Helen's devotional on this Scripture on our challenge blog!

Our challenge sponsor is Verses, who is donating a $15 Gift Card to one random participant in our card challenge (please link your card in our Linky) and as always, we will pick 3 Shining Stars who's cards will be showcased the following Tuesday on our blog!

And now for the Blog Hop!  We will pick 3 random winners who complete the hop and who leave a comment on all our DT's blogs!  Hoppers do not have to make a card and enter our challenge, although we'd love it if they did!  Hoppers could win one of the following:

$20 GC to Daydream Designs,

3 Free digis from The Digi Garden,

and 3 digi sets from Carly's Cuties

Winners from the blog hop will be announced on Tuesday, Sept. 11th
along with our challenge winner and Shining Stars.

Here is my birthday card...its for my son who watches the stock market closely!

I will add a few more details about what items/products I used in making this card after I get home from church this morning. Running late!

Ok, I'm back! Here is my short list of ingredients:

The cute "guy" image is from Pollycraft Digital Images.

He's colored with colored pencils.

The red, blue & green cardstock are from my stash.

The lined background paper is an actual accounting page!

It has a fine layer of Smooch Spritz on it too.
