CHALLENGE #41 BIRTHDAYS

Hey Peeps!

It`s my turn (Mona, from the Dynamite Digi Team), to host the challenge again today. Did anyone have fun with the stiching challenge last week with the Rockin` Rubbah Team? I think the DT did an amazing job on their inspiration samples! And i can see by the number of entrants that at least some of you also think so, lol.
The theme for todays challenge is Birthdays! We all love birthdays, don`t we? The Dynamite Digi Team and i really look forward to see your creations. Birthdays are a wide theme. You can create just about anything. You`ll just have to smack on some birthday sentiments and there you have it.

Our generous sponsor this week is the fabby Crafty Ribbons.


They are sponsoring this yummy bundle of summergoodies.



We are also having a guest-designer with us and it is the talented Lau W. Maybe you remember her from the last digi challenge? Please give her some love for her gorgeous creation. Do you want to have a try as a GDT on our fabulous team? Hop over to the Crafts an Me shop blog and find out how.

Here are the girls gorgeous creations:
