H2H "Birthday" Challenge/Sponsorship, "Blogtoberfest", & More!

There is tons to share this week, so let's get right down to it shall we?  This creative inspiration came about with my husbands initial help.  Yes, you heard it right, Kip actually participated along with me in this weeks H2H "Birthday" Challenge.  I must admit I was stumped for a good bit as to what in the world do I create?  Ultimately in the end it was funny when he said "That is nothing like what we were doing last night."  Well, "Thanks Honey, I appreciate your inspiration!"   This was actually pretty fun to make.  I used some emboss resist on the candles with sponging Sunflower, Pear, and Spring Iris, foam backed them to the card base at the bottom.  It is a 6x6 card using: Sponge Technique, Embossing, Bitty Sparkles, and scrap ribbon plus the items below;
