Asha - Here's a birthday card you can make in no time at all. All the elements for this card can be found in the versatile and timeless Sugar Birdies CD. I did some embossing for the background, adhered a fussy cut topper and greeting from the CD. And to jazz it up I added some bling, twine and ... googly eyes on one of the owls. I know one little girl who's going to be very happy with this!

Bev with my take on this weeks challenge! I edged my diamond top card blank with a floral punch border and matted with backing paper from Candy Doodles CD collection I then edged with a black peel off. The digi is also from the same CD which I coloured in with alcohol markers. I added a pretty pink ribbon and bow, a sentiment and a few paper roses. A pretty card for a birthday girl!

Karon - Birthday girl, what a fabulous challenge.  For my bit of inspiration this week I made a side easel card.  I used an image from the Candy Doodles CD and the papers are from the Sugar Birdies CD.  She is coloured in with alcohol markers and I made some clouds with a mask.  All the layers are inked around the edges.  The sentiment stamp is from the Fairy Flutterfly Gracie set.

Claire C - Candy Doodles is the perfect CD for a special card for the Birthday Girl, I've coloured the image with Graph'It markers and create a cloudy background with PanPastels. The backing paper is also from Candy Doodles and the sentiment is a rubber stamp from Sensational Sentiments

Sally - Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.  This week's challenge is "Birthday Girl"  I chose Fredricka from the Fredricka CD Rom and coloured her with my Graph'it markers. I used my Pan Pastels

to soften the edges and mounted her on a Spellbinders die.  I chose a background paper from the Fredricka CD Rom.  I made my card a stepper card and matted and layered the two steps with the

background paper and grey cardstock.  I added some bling to the sentiment and topper and to the lower step.  One Classy Lady!



Alethea - Ooopsss clearly I didn't get the memo about this challenge..LOL! originally when it was set we were to make an invitation for a girl so I wrote that down on my DT calendar and although I have checked the challenge a number of times, I somehow missed the change! So I have made a birthday invitation for a girl, which I actually really struggled with because I don't have girls so have never had to design a girls birthday invitation! Anyway, I used the Double Sprinkle of Kraft CD for the paper, the pre-coloured image and the butterflies and I got the flowers off the Sundae of Seasons cd. I then added a few embellishments!

Miria - For my card I used coloured stampies from cd Candy Doodles ; I cut the girl out to give dimension. The paper and sentiment are from the same collection; the cage is a die cut from Marianne Design. I just added a fabric bow and some gems.

Fliss - A quick and easy shaped card from me this week using the gorgeous cupcake decoupage set from the Candy Doodles CD. All I did was print out the elements, cut them out, layer up with foam tape and add one of the ticket sentiments coloured with a pink Promarker.
