Rebekah's Birthday Blog Bash has started!

Hello everyone!

Finally it is time...Rebekah's Birthday Blog Bash has started!
First I would like to congratulate Rebekah with her 33rd birthday this weekend...but that is not all...It is a double party because my sweetest son Mitchell is also having his 12th birthday this weekend!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MITCHELL AND REBEKAH!!!!

Now, let's go on with the party....HOP! HOP! HOP!
For the readers who join this bloghop for the first time via my blog: the bloghop started at the blog of Rebekah Friday night at 7 PM. She kicked things of with her blogpost with a nice project. At the bottom of her post you will be directed to the next blog in this bloghop. There you will find another idea, project, giveaway or challenge and of course, lots of inspiration! Again, on the bottom of this blogpost you will be directed to the next blog and so on.
In total will there be 36 blogs participating in the bloghop: four on Friday, starting at 7pm. On Saturday morning sixteen blogs will kick off again at 8am and again sixteen on Sunday morning. So you have plenty of time to visit all blogs and get inspired!
In case you get lost, Rebekah will also update her blog each time with an introduction about the persons who's blog has gone live and remind you of the blog address you need. She will also tell you if there's a giveaway associated with the blog.
And don't forget: the great thing about blogs is that the ideas, tutorials and challenges will be there for ages and ages so you can pop back over any time! If you can't join in this weekend, please come along some other time and have a look at what's been going on. 
 
Now we have had all this talking about the bloghop...it is time to party!
What do I have in mind for you? How about a challenge????
Because it is also my son's 12th birthday this weekend I thought I'd like to do a comic inspired challenge.
My son Mitchell is a big fan of comics, especially Donald Duck. He reads them over and over again, everywhere and always..ok...when he is not gaming on his Playstation or Wii...
So, for this challenge I would like you to get inspired by comics: the little text balloons, the big SPLASH! or WOW! or BOOM! letters, the colors or just the tiny stripes to express movement...anything!
 
Here is my comic inspired layout:
 

I even edited my picture in PSE with an artistic filter to make it match my layout more.

And how about this card?
 

And don't you just love this layout from Rebekah?!!!

When I told her about my challenge she couldn't wait and created this cute layout in no time.

Way to go, Rebekah!! You rock, girl!!

So, I would love to see what you create, inspired by comics.

You have until April 15th (before Midnight) to link up your creations in the comment section of this entry. If you don't have a blog you can also email me a picture of your work at sandravandergeest@gmail.com. 

And this is my prize for the winner:

A gorgeous vintage kit, filled with lots of flowers, buttons, ribbons, lace, tags, rhinestones, 4 pieces of 6x6 doublesided papers and 3 journaling papers.

The winner will be picked by MY OWN PERSONAL RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR, which is my son Mitchell ;-)  and the result will be posted on my blog on April 18th.

Good luck to all of you! And eh....don't get stuck in reading all those comics!!! They are just to inspire you!! ;-)

Wel, enough about me...it is time to link you to the next blog in this great Birthday Blog Bash.

Thanks for stopping here, feel free to get inspired some more, to come back or to contact me.

Please say hello to Ifa Zainon !!!
