Happy Birthday to us, happy birthday to us... la la la la, la laaaa laaaa... Sweet Stampin' is celebrating it's 5th birthday! We have a mega-challenge to mark this special day on the Sweet Stampin' calendar with prizes galore. The theme is a lovely easy one: Happy Birthday! You must have a birthday sentiment on your card to be eligible for entry into the prize draw. Check out all the details here!
The Sweeties from both team Fi and team Abi joined in this week's challenge and believe me, there are the most fabulous inspiration cards on the Sweet Stampin' blog today.
Here's my DT card
Apologies for the photo - I still haven't got round to sorting out a light box but I really must. I never seem to see daylight at the moment! I used MME papers, distressed them and inked the edges with Walnut Stain DI. I stamped one of my favourite Tildas and coloured her with Copics, adding some sparkle with Sakura glitter pens. The sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted stamp set and I went over the script with a clear glitter pen to make it stand out a bit. I didn't want too much white space on the card so I added a few WOC roses in shades of gold and creamy yellow to the top left corner.
I do hope that you can join us over at Sweet Stampin' this week.
It's perhaps as well that we don't have a birthday cake at Sweet Stampin' Towers. At school we have "Cake Friday", which means that the staff take it in turns to bake something lovely to have with our cuppa at break time. I'm not in the staffroom that often but for obvious reasons I try to get in there on a Friday. Yesterday one of the kids offered me a sweetie and I declined on the grounds that I had just eaten a rather big piece of delicious Victoria Sponge. My darling pupil didn't give up: "It's OK, Mrs Trayner... you're not THAT fat!" That's me told, then.
Have a great day!

Sweet Tilda is adorable, it's a gorgeous card. I hope you'll continue enjoying the Friday cakes anyhow, the story brought a smile for the try of being polite...and ending with the opposite.
Love and hugs
