Happy Birthday....

Happy Sunday all! Wow it looks like we are going to have another gorgeous day here! I am hoping to spend some time outside today, maybe put some Christmas lights up!
For me, November and December are very busy months, we have so many birthdays coming up, and Christmas on it's way! I had to make four birthday cards so I used one of my favourite stamps from Karen Lockhart! I ran the background of the card thru the cuttlebug and then used my nestabilities to cut the two circles so I could stamp my image on the one and colour with copics to colour my image. I then added just a little glitter to the flowers.
It sure makes me want spring to come early this year!

This is lovely Christine, so simple but very effective. We have a lovely day here in Aberdeenshire. 2nd in a row which is fantastic as we have had so much rain recently!
