More birthday greetings...

A week packed with birthdays and I have been busy making cards!

I made this cute card or a friend of my daughter - she was 13 this week. I wanted to use a stamp set I have had for a while - Circle of Friendship. Although this set is no longer available, it shows how a circular stamp design can be used in the centres of these rosettes and many of the current sets of stamps have circle designs in them.



The rosettes are so easy and can be made in different sizes, i used scraps of paper to create the card.

I was lucky to receive a box packed with projects and goodies from my good friend Natalie, and many other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators - so I thought that I would share them with you too... more eye candy!
