Girl talk

Normally it's my turn for a card at QKR Stampede on a Saturday. Last week was a hectic one for me, so i only finished my Saturday card on Monday :-)

Though the name of the stamp (24002 Wizard bear - from QKR Stampede) seems a little "masculine", the pink fairy dress and painted fingernails turned this bear into an adorable female wizard :-)
I used a sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches for the card.

Birthday layout

This week's challenge at Scrap & Stamp, is to make a layout showing someone's birthday. I chose Julina's 8th birthday photos. As the photos were so busy already, I didn't want any "busy" papers.

What you see here, will be the top part of the first month, while the blank calender will be the bottom half. I think I'm going to bind it with rings.
