Happy Birthday!

Ok, so how many of you are enjoying this weather? I had hoped that I wouldn't suffer from the heat as badly this year after losing 4 stone, however I suppose as a menopausal woman that was wishful thinking! So, I thought I would do some crafting to distract myself, but after a couple of hours of sticking to everything I picked up 😡I gave up, but I did manage to make my DT card for the new challenge at Passion for Markers. 

Elaine has chosen the easy peasy theme of Happy Birthday, so get out your markers and have a play 

Our sponsor is The Paper Shelter who have sadly closed their store now , so we are offering a prize of the same image that the DT have all used for their DT cards - here's mine: 


Image - 'A curious cake' - TPS

Purple paper - from The Paper Boutique's 'Happy Gnomes' 8 x 8 paper pad by Beverley Eden

Turquoise paper - LOTV's 'Snow Princess' 8 x 8 paper pad

The kraft card circle was cut with a die from Craft Addiction UK's 'Scallopstack Circle Frames' set

I raised the sentiment on 3d foam and finished off with a bow and some gems

Challenges:

'Anything Goes' - Creative Inspirations

'Anything Goes' - Allsorts

Thanks for visiting - and - stay cool (if you can 😅)
