Autumnal Birthday!

Wow, where is the time going to? I can't believe its only 16 days until I go on my crafty week away! I booked it last October as soon as I got home from that one & boy times just flown!!!

Anyhoos on with today's post.

Over at The Perfect Sentiment we have a challenge that I just loved creating for, I just love sunflowers they make me think of my Nan. When I was a kid my nan lived about 70 miles away so I only saw her in the hols....so when it was time to plant the seeds I would help Nan plant them & through the school term Nan would look after them for me & measure them & phone or write a letter to tell me so I could keep my own grow chart at home! I still have a few of them in the loft!!

Anyhoos this weeks challenge is

AUTUMNAL BIRTHDAYS!

don't forget your sentiment on the front!

I decided to use an image I won a while ago & chose because of my Nan x

It's time for a new challenge over at 'Sparkles Christmas' this month we have a fab challenge for you to join in with...

ANYTHING BUT A CARD!

please remember it must be Christmas themed!!

I decided to make a gift card holder, we tend to buy the girls a few things that they want. This year its been tickets to concerts..Tonight Alive, 30 Seconds To Mars for both of the girls & 5ive for me & Katie. I'm soooo excited lol!!

But we also give them money to spend on DVD's. games or anything special they want!! So these are ideal for popping a few notes into!
