By The Cute And Girly Challenge Reminder

Morning, have made a card using some of my FAVOURITE things just to remind you of our challenge over at BTC&G. The list would go on for ever wouldn't it so I went for Butterflies, flowers and border punches. Have used the Memorybox die many times so love it, the flower is from a Nestie set, I said it would be used again, a great selection in it. Curled the petals and added a craft candi to the center. A Martha Stewart border punch, the Happy Birthday is from Cheerylyn. Now the only other favourite i really  like on a card to finish it off is ribbon or lace but the friend I'm making this for does not like them on her cards, sob sob lol! So I improvized and put a piece of Bazzil and added some gems. Oh, the stems for the flowers was from the Tulip die from Memorybox, just cut the Tulips off.

One of those days!!

Was having an off day yesterday., should of been off crafting with friends but wasn't up to driving so decided to have a play by myself, not the same fun but that's the way the cooky crumbles some times. Where my head was when making this card for the Pennyblack Saturday challenge I do not know, my mind does play funny tricks on me! What am I on about, well, here goes. It's use a number this week, with this in mind I set about thinking what I would make. Well I got busy going down the Christmas route, think I must be Christmas on the brain just now.... Looked out my PB stamp and got going creating my background with Hero Art stamps. After I had inked the background I took a baby wipe and gently wiped over the embossing to whiten it up. Had a bit of a blue tinge to it.  Now when I had finished creating the background took a think to myself! What on earth had my flower stamp got to do with Christmas  and my background got to do with Birthdays!! Okay kept going, well I think you do get flowers in the Winter months, I'm sure you do! Once finished, what was I going to do about the number thingy...well it is the 25th isn't it ! Then finally the penny droped, yes so slow wasn't I... The theme  'an age thing'! Okay I give up. Hope I get up in a better frame of mind tomorrow.UGHHHHH.

PB - Blush

Hero Arts - snall dots, sillouette grass

Right in a better frame of mind this morning, so a quick change around and hey presto, a 60th Birthday card.
