Onto this weeks challenge! It was PTW's 1st birthday on the 1st of October so this week we have a choice of 2 challenges
Firsts - first birthday, Christmas, anniversary etc

    fun! I love making cards but don't usually drag my stamps out (i know, lazy, lol). Here is one I finished today that used zero stamps (and i LOVE the way it turned out!): http://scrappyerin.blogspot.com/2008/10/christmas-cards-all-year-round.html
    I also did a little boasting about your blog for ya. :o)

    Happy Birthday! I've covered both challenges in the one card - Honest, not a single stamp was used as it's all my own drawing.
    Here is mine.
