Happy Birthday To Me!

Hi everyone,

Yeap today’s my birthday … so far it has been a pretty good day. I have not long come home from having lunch with my mother and sister to help celebrate the day.

It’s also time for another Pretties Wednesday Challenge & Blog Hop. If you didn't hop onto my blog via Jackie Rakoski's blog then you might want to hop back over to the very start of the blog hop which is at Christie Ortman's blog.

This week the challenge is hosted by Jana Weaver. Jana’s challenge is In honor of my birthday, find inspiration for your card from some type of Owl (real or fictional) and include a picture of your inspiration with your post. Cool challenge, thanks Jana ;)

This week the Design Team are using “Lady Sophia” and “Make A Wish” which are both the stamp sets that are on special this week … 20% off!

This challenge was probably easiest for me seeing I have sooooo many owl things around the house. I recently purchased a pad of designer paper which has a few different sheets of owl designer paper inside it … so I decided to use this for my inspiration piece so you can actually see my inspiration on my card. I used the DP to pull out the colors of my card.

Originally I had thought about using the Lady Sophia set, but then I decided seeing it was my birthday why not created a birthday card hehe … you can never have too many of those to use right!

Want to play along with us
