I have a comfy pillow I sleep on but spent the night in here lol.
My card today came about really easily and as really pleased with it. I have a little pile of oddment strips which has been getting bigger and bigger-so I covered a piece of white cardstock with a selection, and only had to have a tiny bit cut off the length-then onto black cardstock. The papers ere mainly Stampin Up, some Polka Doodles and Paper Favourites which I have had for a good couple of years-maybe even more! The Happy Birthday die was from Tonic and I even remembered to stack it!
Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Great card! Way to use up those scraps! Thanks for joining us at Little Red Wagon.
I love the paper strip background. I did that last year with a few Christmas cards. I save cardstock pieces,also for die cutting. I have so many sorted by colors. The folders are bulging over. It's probably time to start getting rid of some pieces.
Millie found a happy place! Love your card with the use of scraps :)
Fabulous mix of papers and card

A great way of using up your pretty scraps Carol, love the colours and the stacked sentiment too.
Thanks for sharing at Crafty Catz and Fab'n'Funky Challenges.
PS Many years ago we had a cat whose favourite place to sleep was inside a plastic bag! I had to be so careful not to leave any he could get inside as I was terrified he would suffocate! (He didn't!)
What a great way to use up those left-over strips of paper. It has made a fantastic Birthday card.

Great snippets card Carol, the strips all work together beautifully xx
I love when a card comes together so easily, especially when it's extra pretty, too! Millie just had to claim that box at least for one night. She's all cat, for sure!
A great way to use up snippets of paper. This is such an effective birthday card with the sentiment taking centre stage. xxx
What a beautiful result from scraps. I love how it all came together.
Carol, this was such a beautiful follow on and I have to say that photo of Millie in the box completely melted me 🐾💕 Not on the comfy pillow of course but proudly parked in a cardboard box like it was a five star suite. That little face peeking up is pure personality. And then this fabulous birthday card with all those gorgeous textured strips and lush greens and that bold Happy Birthday sentiment just popping off the page, it is such a joyful contrast. Your post feels full of warmth and gentle joy and seeing Millie alongside your beautiful card making just adds another layer of love. Thank you for sharing these precious moments, they really do stay with us 😊✨
oh Millie! Just like many of your friends do too!
Great use of your strips and the bold sentiment is the perfect finishing touch. Thanks also for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.
Fantastic card and use of the papers. Ive given up buying nice beds for my cats as they all prefer a tatty cardboard box, and then they all fight over who gets the new cardboard box! lol
Spectacular card! Way to use up those scraps and it’s pretty too! Can we say pretty to the manly species? Thank you for playing with the MASCULINE themed project with the Krafty Chicks Challenge.

Great use of strips to create a different & awesome Birthday card!
Such a striking mix of patterns and textures. The way the strips line up creates a clean, rhythmic background, and the greens pull everything together so naturally. The stacked sentiment has great presence against all that detail. It is always satisfying to see scraps turn into something this polished and full of energy.
A great use of strips of paper, must try that. Thank you for sharing at Allsorts and As You Like it. Sarah
