and ANOTHER first birthday card...

Saturday 1 September 2012

Another little one turns one this week (this has got to end soon surely!) and I have used the gorgeous sketch over at Sketch Saturday this week to make it:


I used a very cute Robyn stamp by Ladybug Crafts Ink and paper-pieced the balloons. The papers are by My Mind's Eye.
I wrote the number 1 on the cake myself as there wasn't any room left on the card for it!


This week's Sketch Saturday Challenge is sponsored by the Ribbon Girl and there is a prize up for grabs so make sure you pop on over and join in!

I'm going to enter this card in quite a few challenges...

Stempelsonnen Challenge which is 'Children'
Cute Card Thursday - stitching (on my ribbon)
Inspired By challenge - photo inspiration ( a great photo of brightly coloured pencils, I've taken the colours as inspiration and the pennants from the triangle shapes)
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge which is 'Sparkle and Shine' (three gems in the top right corner)
Scrapalicious USA which is Anything Goes
Celebrate the Occasion which is a Child's Birthday
Ladybug Crafts Ink which is Paper Piecing (I've paper pieced Robyn's balloons)
Oldie But Goodie Challenge - paper piecing (my ribbon is more than 6months old)
Use it Tuesday - use that ribbon (I've had that ribbon for almost 3 years, it's too special to use!)

Wow, that's a lot of challenges! Hope you like my card and thanks so much for looking!
