Pollycraft Challenge #80 - Special Birthdays...

Good Morning

I hope you all had a lovely weekend...mine was a nice relaxing one with plenty of crafting time.

It's time for a new challenge over at Pollycraft and it was my turn to choose the theme which is:-

''Special Birthday's''

I'd like to see creations for milestone birthdays or for someone special rather than just a standard birthday card. 

I'm also sponsoring the challenge and one luck winner will receive a beautiful pack of designer trims by Websters pages from my store.

For my card I used ''Cherry Kisses - Whatever'' with Basic Grey ''Marjolaine'' papers which are available in Crafty Emma's Store along with the flowers and Tea House brads.

Challenges:-

1 - Sweet Sketch Wednesday / Sketch Below

2 - Stamping With The Dragon / Anything Goes

''Cute & Cuddly''

I have used ''Mimi - Lazy Days'' by Helz Cuppleditch...the stamp is available in my store along with the 'Tea House' papers, promarkers, notched card blank, flowers, pins, pearls and sentiment stamp.
