Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Elaine from Team 2 and she has given you the theme of ‘birthdays'. Elaine knows we always need birthday cards, gift tags etc. 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!

Sarah doesn’t mind what you make this week, as long as you keep it clean and simple.
