Week 786 - birthdays

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘pastel colours’ challenge; 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 lucky winner who will win the 4 digi images courtesy of Lili of the Valley and we will also find out who Lorraine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Now onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Elaine from Team 2 and she has given us a 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 but remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw. So come on, grab your markers, and have fun! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Sheepski Designs who are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice (the online store is now closed but we will send you a link to choose your images from).  Most of the DT have used images from Sheepski Designs 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):
