Birthday Cake for You! And for Dies R Us Challenges

It's August 1, and that means a new challenge starts today at Dies R Us Challenges.  Every 1st and 15th of the month, it's challenge time! The theme for the next 2 weeks is: Desserts.  Any kind of desserts.  The only requirement about your project is that you use at least 1 die of a brand sold in the Dies R Us Store.  And, there are many brands sold there, so the door is pretty wide open! 

Desserts -- what would like be without them?  Chocolate, ice cream, cake, the list is endless.  One of my favorites is birthday cake because it also marks a special occasion.  So, when thinking of desserts, I thought of birthday cake and birthdays, and created this:

The die that is front and center is by Tutti Designs.  It is called Birthday Topper.  I cut it out using a sky blue foil paper by Tonic Studios.  The balloon and string are by Frantic Stamper.  They are part of a set called Birthday Icons. 

The confetti background paper is by We Are 3 Digital Shop. It is one of the papers in the Celebrate Collection.

I hope you join us for our Desserts Themed challenge.  There will be a gift certificate given away at the end of the challenge, and 3 designer choice awards.  I'd love to see your take on the dessert theme!  Don't forget, for Canadian customers, Dies R Us has a sister store. Check out Didi Crafts -- shipping to both Canada and the US!
