I was drawn to the bright fun colours used on this birthday card, and the beautifully coloured image. I liked the use of the big bold flower as well as the cute sentiment. Congratulations Lori!

#4 - Wendy (Papersniffer)

I thought this was a great masculine card but the thing that really caught my eye was the stunning ribbon wreath! I love the use of the wreath for a birthday card. Congratulations Wendy!

#2. Lyndal

I kept being drawn back to this card because of that gorgeous vibrant flower which is a real standout! I loved the pattern stamped on the white mat as well and really liked the addition of the thread to tie it together. Congratulations Lyndal!

#39 Heather Jensen

This was one card I kept coming back to over and over again. The colouring of the image is absolutely beautiful and I love that it takes centre stage without any added embellishments.

 And all the stitching of the DSP background is fabulous. Congrats Heather!

#25 Hayley's Paper Garden


I loved the outside of Hayley's card just as much as the inside, where there was a fabulous surprise of a 
pop up cake with lots of glitter. Great colour combo too. Congrats Hayley!

#54 Susan Sieracki


Male cards are always a challenge, but Susan nailed it with this one! The image of the pocket watch is 
fabulous as is the shadowing of the vest and the little bow tie. Congrats Susan!

#99 Julia Aston


 What a fun card this is! Bright and cheery colours, chevron and a super cute balloon animal. 
All the elements of a perfect birthday card. Congrats Julia!

We hope you ALL will enjoy your "Honours" badge.
