STAMPIN UP ONLY CHALLENGE #SUOC226 - BIRTHDAYS

Such a broad spectrum for our challenge at SU only challenge this week - Birthdays - well for me it's even more relevant as my first grandchild Hazel made her appearance on Wednesday 19th June - 6 weeks earlier than we expected but she and mum are doing really well.  So exciting!

I've used a retired set here called Happy Hour together with some retired SU DSP called Have a Cuppa.  I added a strip of the same paper turned over on the left hand side and cut the bottom with a retired banner punch.  I added some of the gorgeous  Organza ribbon - now also sadly retired.







I'm also including this in the As You See It Challenge - a great challenge this week called My Favourite Colour to Wear is......

Mine is definitely red and you will see all different shades of red in my wardrobe - but especially the muted reds rather than the really bright ones.  I love the colours red and green and use a lot of red in my home decorating too.  I'f I'm needing a pick-me-up then I will definitely grab something red to wear.

I'm also including this in Just Add Ink challenge which has a sketch which I think this one follows.

I'm popping by Retro Rubber also with this retired set.  It's been a while since I've joined in with other challenges and it's nice to play along - it helps to keep you motivate I find.

Lovely to see you back at both As You See It and Retro Rubber, Fiona! Like you, I'm a fan of the deep, muted reds - almost burgundy - which is why I like Fresh Fig, Merry Merlot and Blackberry Bliss such a lot, I think. I often wish I had got that drinks set. It makes for a cheery birthday card. Thanks for joining in with us a both challenges.
