It's all about the birthday

 Good morning blogland,

It's that time of the year - no not 'that' time of the year just yet- it's Birthday Time! Sweet Stampin' challenge is celebrating their birthday and I believe it's quite a big one!

So to celebrate both Teams were invited to join in with the celebrations and this is the card I made for the occasion. As always the challenge is a 'for fun' only one so no prizes on offer - other than earning yourself a Top 3 badge of course - but there are a couple of simple rules.  You must a stamp somewhere on your entry and you must follow the theme of the challenge and, of course, the unspoken rule - have fun!

Supplies used:

Rubber stamp:

Whimsy Stamps / Time for Tea stamps: Ruffles

coloured with my Copics

taylored expressions : Simple Strips - Birthday

Dies:

Creative Craft Products : A2 Landscape Card die set

Time for Tea Dies : Smile Inverted Scallop Die set

Julie Hickey : Birthday profile die set

taylored expressions: Simple Strips - well rounded

Papers:

BoBunny - Isabella

and some random striped paper

Anything else:

sequins for the shaker element

And that's about it.

It's hard to comprehend sometimes just how many years I've been making cards (ok with a bit of a significant break) but at times like this it's brought home to you.  I can remember making cards and invitations for TTT's various birthdays over the years and using them as my DT card for Sweet Stampin' and now Sweet Stampin' is celebrating a big birthday and TTT has flown the nest and living in Lincoln.  How time flies - next thing you know I'll be heading for retirement (ha - I wish!!!).

See you soon,

Sarah
