I'm just lovin' being Crafty Secrets' guest designer :)
You can find more details of this birthday blessings card here ...
Thank you Miss Nette for the lovely old trim on the edge of the card...
and the ribbons from MemrieMare -- the sparkly maple leaf from Little Red Cottage -- and twine.
This card (my favorite shade of blue!) uses these stamps and these creative scraps. The paper is by Prima if I'm not wrong. (love that expression on the little child's face!) :)
That's it from me for today... hope you're having a happy, crafty, inspiring weekend. And perhaps it's cooler where you are... sweltering heat here in Singapore :)

These cards are gorgeous! So soft and lovely. I really like the lacy edging.
