HAPPY BIRTHDAY {with a Bestie}

{To a Person I am HAPPY to know}

Hope all my bloggy friends had a wonderful weekend.
It was a sunny winters Monday here in Johannesburg.
I am here today with another Birthday Card using for the first time, this cute pre-coloured Besties image.  Isn't she just pure sunflower delight and so pretty in her country attire.
You can purchase her here

  The buttons, fabric roses and design papers are from my stash. The layered flower has been created with squares of which the corners have been corner rounded first.
The sentiment is from CREATE WITH TLC.


I would love to enter my little card creation into the following challenges:

Here is another layout I created with South Africa's best design paper manufacturer, Celebr8.
Little Nina was only 9 days old here when I did a photo shoot of her.  Cant believe its more than 2 years ago already.  Here she is with her mom Jeanine and her Granny Joyce.
I would love to enter this layout over at Lets Scrap Sketches as I used this wonderful sketch created by the very talented Michelle van Wyk, as inspiration.

Here is my take on this sketch:
