Happy 32nd - Three Challenges

It's another gorgeous day in northern Illinois.  Yesterday the high temp was around 50 degrees!  Today, at 1:30 p.m. it's 41 degrees...and sunny.  This is so unusually for January.  And I'm loving it :o)

So.  On to papercrafting!  The card I created this morning is going into 3 challenges.  When I was browsing the challenge blogs this morning, these 3 seemed to fit together so well for the birthday card that I needed to make.  Take a look.
Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger: By The Numbers

The Play Date Cafe Challenge #113

Crazy 4 Challenges #118
New year….new ‘toys’…..new techniques. Do or use something NEW on your card/project.

This is the very fun card that I created.  Well...fun for ME at least!  I hope my nephew likes it.  Oh.  And don't tell him that I told you his age.  Okay?

In my most recent PTI order, I got the By The Numbers stamp set, dies and the impression plate (thanks to some Christmas gift money from my Sis - thank you!).  So those items and a My Mind's Eye 8 x 8 patterned paper pad were the new items that qualify this card for the C4C#118 challenge.  And then.  How about those colors in the PDCC challenge photo?  Love them.  They're described as Juniper, Mint and Vanilla.  And last, but far from least...I couldn't resist the inspiration provided by Cath, in that numbers quilt.  I've included links (above) to all of the blogs, so that you can go see all of the details for each challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look!  I hope you'll leave a comment.  I enjoy reading all of them :)

P.S.
