Week 763 - birthdays

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘make it cute’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our winner of the £10.00 voucher courtesy of RAM Stamps and also revealing who I have chosen as my Top 5 Passionista (on behalf of Lorraine).  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Elaine from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘birthdays'. Elaine knows we always need birthday cards so you can make anything you like, any style, any shape, as long as you include a birthday sentiment.  It really cannot get any easier than that can it?  Such a great challenge and we cannot wait to see what you create. Don't forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw.  So grab your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Beccy's Place and she is offering one lucky winner a $10.00AU voucher to spend in her online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Beccy's Place on their creations this week.  

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

(using an image & sentiment from 'flockstar')
(using an image & sentiment from 'disco fever')
(using an image & sentiment from 'book lovers')
(using an image from 'bees & blooms')

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x
