CHNC challenge 34: Christmas birthday or 'anything goes'

It's time for another challenge on my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge blog. Today is my birthday, so challenge 34 is a bit different to the norm. I usually ask you to make a Christmas card, but today you have a choice of making a card for a Christmas birthday or an 'anything goes' Christmas card.

We have a lot of family birthdays around the festive season, which means making a lot of birthday cards around Christmas time. So at least I've got one done early - perhaps I'll make one every week so that I don't have to do them all at the busiest time of the year.

For my easel card I've used BG wisteria papers, various flowers, buttons, ribbon and scalloped border. The image is one of my favourite Greetings Farm ones - wild sprouts 'sassy Suzi', coloured with copics.


I'm entering this into these challenges:

Bunny Zoe 15: easel cards
Fussy & fancy 1000 follower celebration challenge using the F & F blog colour scheme

Digi doodle shops best 72: a recipe - 1 ribbon, 2 backing papers and 3 buttons
Lexi 46: recipe - 1 image, 2 flowers, 3 papers
