for a chance to win this lovely stamp just make a Happy Birthday card or creation and enter the challenge !! easy !! :)


 Wishin' Well


As America's birthday is on the 4th July ,,, I thought I would be dead original and go for a stars and stripes theme !! ( tongue firmly in cheek here lol )



I used my cute little Hyper Mouse Muzzy for this card. The ball is from a Simon Says Stamp exclusives beach set :-) The papers were a free download from Freebies-stampTV Lucky find !! :-)The star was cut out on my cricut using the george cartridge. I used a martha Stewart border punch and I embossed a panel of white with the swiss dots folder, the sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp exclusives set too ,, I used a Spellbinders ribbon tag die too.



Challenges:

Stamp Something ,,,,, Colours of my flag (Union Jack)

Meljen ,,,,, Red/White/Blue

Cupcake Crafts ,,,,,World Cup Wonders


Thanks for looking :-) the DT have made some FANTASTIC cards for you to see so hop on over to the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge to see them :-)
