So, let's see the inspiration from the team for this week!

Enrica - Hi crafty friends! My project for this week is a very special one for me, it is the card I’ve made for my son’s 16 birthday. I colored with Copic the adorable Party Bear with Cupcake and Party Bear with gift digital stamps from the cute Party Time printables collection. The banner with numbers are from the Label Banner Birthday Numbers. Love these cute little bears, they’re perfect to bring joy to every creative projects. Big hugs, Enrica

Jenn B - I printed out the From All of Us digi stamp and die cut around it, then printed the image again a few times on several pieces of printable paper from the Winnie Celebrations 1 - Paper 1 pack and paper pieced the balloons & party hats. I used another piece for the background and fussy cut one of the sentiments and attached it to another piece, then used an oval punch and attached it with foam dimensional tape. I die cut the #4 from another piece of the coordinating paper and attached that with foam dimensional tape to finish it off.

Revati - hello, crafty friends! I'm so excited to share a sweet and cheerful birthday card I created featuring the absolutely adorable Birthday Mouse Digi Stamp. This charming little mouse instantly brought a smile to my face, and I knew it would make the perfect focal point for a fun and festive birthday card. I began by printing the digi image onto a smooth 80lb white cardstock, which works beautifully with alcohol markers. Once the ink was dry, I brought the little mouse to life using my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers.To finish off the card, I added a fun sentiment strip that I pulled from the Winnie Daisy Fairy Everyday Greetings and Quotes digital sentiment pack. I love how it ties everything together and adds that perfect touch of celebration to the card front. For more details, be sure to check out my blog.

Sana - Today is new Digi Choose day Blog challange. This time the theme For DT was Numbers. So I choose this gorgeous Cute Elephant Tons of love numbers Digi for my make. Here I printed the Number 1 out with the cute elephant image and shaded is with Distress watercolor pencils i had. It just gave the cute vibe for a 1 year old. I then fussy cut the image out and used a 3D double sided foam to stick on the background the background paper is also from Polkadoodles collections.

Judy: The DT was asked to create an inspiration project with Birthday Numbers this week.My card was created with Party Bear with Cupcake, which I coloured using Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.The background is made up of embossed white cardstock and a patterned paper from the Birthday Party Celebration Digital Paper Download.The sentiment was printed from Birthday Celebration Party Sentiments Greetings Printables. I also printed and fussy cut balloons from the Birthday Party Celebration Bundle.The number #3 was stamped using the Birthday Celebrations 4x8" Stamp Set.To finish, I added a die-cut bunting for extra fun!
