Happy Birthday

Good Morning! Team A is starting a new challenge over at The Sketchy Challenges today. This fortnight our challenge theme is "CAS or Shabby Chic"  -  so let us see all your wonderful cards and projects.



My teamies came up with some gorgeous cards, too...




Our generous sponsor for this challenge is
Emily is providing one monthly box of goodies which is so generous to the winner.  The monthly box is themed and is full of crafty surprises including hand cast resin and embellishments. 



As I am more of a CAS crafter than a shabby chic one I decided to do some gorgeous, but still CAS birthday cards with my lovely butterfly stamp.

You can never have to many birthday cards, can you?




And here you have some close ups of the individual cards...
