Festive Friday #0082 - World Laughter Day

  • Friday, 16 April 2021

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and a Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.





This week’s challenge #FF0082 World Laughter Day. 

Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you! 


For today's challenge I selected yellow, rainbows and sequins to create this fun shutter fold card featuring the Hey Birthday Chick.  I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create.

Isn't this card fun!  I hope it makes you laugh or at least smile when you see it!
