How Many Candles?

I'd simply like you to make a Birthday Card with at least one candle on it this week

The DCM team have all used Funky Hand papers from the Happy Happy Birthday CD to make their cards this week so you'll see what it's all about, but of course you may not have any (yet), so you can use anything you like.

If you would like to try using a Funky Hand Freebie, visit Get Funky! where you'll find this months new Funky Fifteenth freebie available to download right now.

and this is my card using a Funky Hand Monster and papers from the CD;



Scarily (for me!) it's a CAS one layered card so also fits (for the first time ever!) with the current Less is More challenge, anything goes.

and the second monster is the focus of a card that I made for my fabulous Bro-in-law's birthday;



I used a rather eclectic (and much more me!) mix of Crate Paper Random, MME Blush and Authentique Splendid papers, Sassafras journalling card, Safmat printed sentiment, Papermania gems, Ribbon Girl ribbon and button/button twine, OA rub ons and a handcut monster.
