Crafty Secrets Design Team is having a “Birthday” themed challenge today. Any altered project, layout, hats, cards etc. will do. Be sure and check Heart Warming Vintage Blog for links to some really cute patterns, templates and samples. Anna (link below) is offering a drawing on her blog, all you need to do is leave a comment on her post. Tomorrow, she will announce the winner, but she has all the details posted so be sure and check it out. But, don’t forget to check out the other Crafty Secrets Designers, I’m sure they have something lovely to share as well. So don’t be shy….. come and join the fun.
I decided to make a vintage birthday card using this sweet image from Crafty Secrets Garden Creative Scraps. I love the colors, and wanted to keep the entire card based on them.
