I have a friend who has always been a lover of owls and this week she reaches the grand old age of 60!!! Scary - I am a couple of years younger, but it made me realise just how time is passing and that perhaps I ought to start being more sensible.
Hmmm, maybe next year!!
As it's a more special birthday she even gets a pull out tag - thought the hidden '60th' was a good idea incase she goes into shock and doesn't want to see '60' everywhere.
Materials used...
- Papers - magazine freebie Lilli of the Valley
- Flowers - die free in magazine
- Swirls - die maker unknown
- Owl stamp and sentiment by Woodware
- Sentiment on tag - computer generated
- Tag - a Marianne die (I think)
- Coloured using Promarkers
Challenges ...
Have a creative day whatever you are up to.

and what could be better than coming back to Blogland on a Sunday and joining the fun challenge at Pixie's Snippets Challenge.
Just recently I found this gorgeous stamp with main part being the very large 'happy' and then smaller sentiments to place underneath. Just perfect for using up snippets and making simple but I think cool cards. Hope you think so too because I will probably be showing loads of variation of this card on a regular basis.
Additional Challenge...
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Totally Gorgeous - nice and Summery

A card inspired by a die used by Di at Pixie's Crafty Workshop . I love the 'Happy Birthday' die she used in this post and the Christmas one I used on these cards, but now I have a Cameo machine I had a feeling I might be able to do something similar myself.
Sadly I couldn't work out how to do letters that fall into the box part (p and y for example) so I had to stick with words that stayed above the line. Not bad for someone who has only had the machine for less than a week though - I am quite proud of myself. Head is swelling here! I did 'Time to PARTY' too, but that one isn't quite finished.
Challenges...
- Pixie's Snippet's Challenge - use your snippets (had to pull the tiniest snippets of the purple out of the bin (eeek) to create the candles.
Have a great week.
