Creative Card Crew Birthday Challenge # 45 - Celebration!


Birthday Celebrations


Its the CCC challenge number 45 and its also our Birthday! can't believe the challenge blog has been running for a year. We are so pleased to have so many followers and to celebrate we have set this weeks challenge as "Celebrations" this leaves it wide open for you all to interpret however you see fit. We hope you will join in the fun.

Because its our birthday we have several sponsors to the challenge this week including the fabulous Simon Says Stamps, Bunny Zoe's, and Sunshine Stamps.




CCC BIRTHDAY BLOG CANDY


Some of the DT have some blog candy to celebrate our anniversary. Now my blog candy is going to be a surprise, but lets just say if you havn't seen the delicious "Sweet Pea" designs yet go take a look here where you will see works of art made using these fabulous designs. I feel sure you will fall in love with them like me, just as soon as you see them.

To be in with a chance of winning my blog candy you have to join in with our CCC challenge this week and leave a link on this post with your card. I will draw a winner on th 16th march.

For my celebration card i have made this card using the fabulous Greeting Farm image, and papers. As many of your will know i always struggle with boys/male cards and am trying to stretch myself, and build up a supply of them, as there are far more males in our family.

Also done this quick male card using just a single Lili of the Valley image, i believe this is now discontinued, but i am trying to use up my older stash. The stars are brads again very old stash!





Have fun, hugs Linda x

Hello Linda. Your cards are wonderful today; absolutely perfect for the males. You've picked the best embellishments ever - it is so hard to embellish a male card but 'hat's off to you' for making these look so good.
It was lovely to be back with you and the crew for this week's celebration. Here's wishing you all another sucessful year.
Hugs,
Sharon xx
