The Crafty Secrets designers are having a challenge this month, and the theme is "birthday".
I made this sweet little 3.5x5 glittery birthday card using an image from the recently released Girlfriends image sheet. I have something else birthday themed to share as well BUT it's going to have to wait until tomorrow!
Why?
Because that's when I'm going to announce one winning name from all comments left on this birthday card post.
One lucky person will receive a $30 gift certificate from Crafty Secrets! A BIG thanks to Sandy at Crafty Secrets for this offer!
To enter the drawing, leave a comment on this post. I'll randomly choose 1 name from all comments at 7:30am Central, Tuesday June 9th.
You will want to check out the other birthday projects being shared today by my fellow design team members. They're SURE to knock your SOCKS off!
