Birthday Bash card challenge!

Who doesn't love to get a bunch of cards in the mail for their birthday?  Every year on my birthday I get a beautiful handmade card from a dear friend and I must say I look forward to that every year! It seems in this digital age getting an actual card in the mail is a rare occurrence!  Today's challenge is a scrapbooking challenge with a card twist...my challenge for you is to create a layout using at least TWO project life type cards on it!  Here is my example to give you an idea:
Supplies: Patterned paper- Echo Park Note to Self; 3x4 cards: Echo Park Note to Self;
stickers: Echo Park Note to Self; garland: Teresa Collins; felt hears: unknown; date stamp:
Making Memories; Ink: StazOn Jet Black.

 If you are anything like me you have TONS of these 3 x 4 cards in your stash.  My challenge for you is to put them to good use!  I used 3 premade 3 x 4 cards on my layout and since I couldn't find  a fourth one that went well with my photo, I made my own (far right edge) using a punch and stickers from the Note to Self collection by Echo Park. So if you don't have any of these premade cards go ahead and make your own like I did for the 4th one on my layout! You can use any size of Project Life type card that is 3 x 4 or larger premade or made by you.  I hope you will find time to play along not only with my challenge but all the other challenges that we have for you on the Sketch N Scrap blog! But what is a challenge without a prize? Here is my prize for ONE randomly selected winner of my card challenge:
I will be giving away this Paradise Beach collection by Echo Park to ONE lucky randomly drawn winner of my card challenge!!!!  This collection is awesome, I love the colors and it has its own cards in it to use on your projects! Just create a layout using at least TWO project life type cards on your layout!  But you can't win if you don't play.
Here are the rules to play along:
1) You must be a follower of my blog and the Sketch N Scrap blog to win
2) Your project must be new and created just for this challenge (no back linking)
3) You may combine this challenge with a challenge from another site but not with another of my birthday bash challenges

    1. I have entered you into the drawing since you provided a link, the only link needed is http://createdbylisa.blogspot.com The reason it won't let you link up is you included the direct link! Thanks for entering my challenge!
