Pile It On Challenge #14 Birthday Theme

Look at this! 9 Challenges! Can you believe it? I know this is the most ever. At first it was hard to figure out which challenges work well together. Now it seems that I really don't have to plan the challenges that I am going to accomplish. I just do my card and then go through the lists of challenges on PIO and I find that by just doing what I want, a lot of the challenge blogs somehow meet at least one thing I did. Like add bling, or use ribbon.

My challenges:

• PIO-Birthday and at least one other
• Pollycraft Monday Challenge-Furry Friend (animal) (yes I know turtles are not furry but they are an animal)
• The Pink Elephant: 1 ribbon, 2 squares, and something sparkly
  
• Whimsy Stamps-Touchy Feely (texture)
• Paper Maniac-Embossing
• Spoon Full of Sugar-Distressing
• La La Land Crafts-Bling
• Color Throwdown-Always Artichoke, Regal Rose and Chocolate Chip
• ABC Challenge - Circles
