Happy Friday friends and followers!
Have you been playing along with each of the daily
challenges this week of the 6th Annual Birthday Bash?

We have reached DAY 7 of the celebration and we have
an adorable FREEBIE that you can use with the final challenge.

Here's the challenge (see below)


and here's my DT card using the FREEBIE image and the recipe

Let's see: 1 animal - check!
2 layers (doily and main image circle) - check!
and 3 buttons - check, check, check! 

 I wasn't so sure I could pull off a card with only 2 layers.  
It's very difficult for me to wrap my brain around and 
actually put together (the only more difficult style for 
me is a one layer card).  But hey...isn't that what challenges 
are for, to stretch your creative talents a bit?   I gotta tell
you that I'm quite pleased with myself and how this turned out. 

I'd like to enter this in the following challenges:

Robyn's Fetish Challenge #299 - Animals
Ruby's Rainbow Challenge #121 Animal Magic
Simon Says Wednesday Challenges - Create with a Critter

There's a few hours left in the challenges.  If you have 
participated in ALL the daily challenges you have the opportunity
to WIN a fabulous GRAND PRIZE.  There are also some
great daily prizes that you can win too.  But only if you play along!
Click here for specifics on the prizes. 

Thanks so much for helping us celebrate the Big 6th Birthday!
I hope you've enjoyed this week of creations as much as I have!

right now.  I love that the colors are so bright and cheery and
can be used for boys or girls.  In this case I made a card for
a boy as I am behind in sending a card to a family member
who had a precious little son not long ago.  Hope they like it!
