B-Day X-mas card challenge week 21

A gorgeous start to another week. The suns shining and its a nice fresh spring morning. Not going to last though not according to the GMTV weather forecast, this afternoon its going to rain! Never mind we can't complain its been a great week weatherwise, giving us a taste of the weather to come i hope.

Well another week and another challenge over at the B-Day Xmas card challenge. Week 21 already ladies, i can hardly believe it. We have a fabulous sketch to work to this week by the wonderful Rhianne.


This is one of my favourite soft centres stamps over at funky kits. I have used papers from the Smirk range.


The border detail is a wonderful Martha stewart punch and the sentiment flower is the SU punch.


Its not clear on this photo but the cupcakes have been glazed for extra dimension.

So this is the sketch you need to use this week to take part in our challenge. Hope you have fun using it, like me!






I enjoyed this sketch i also used it to make this other birthday card. Again papers from the SMIRK range and the of course adorable Rachelle Miller image. Love this one, its my favourite, such a pretty little girl.





So thats it from me, hope you have a nice week planned. Enjoy the rest of the sunshine. Hugs Linda x
