Challenge #286 - Birthday girl

Morning and hello! What a strange weather we had yesterday, sun shine, rain, hail and some really hard winds. No fun riding my bike in that. I was basically standing still downhill because of the winds. Lucky only on the way home, not in a hurry in other words. I guess spring is here for real now with all those weather changes. Well, it is time for a new fun challenge here at the Paper Shelter and this week we have the fabby theme of

Birthday girl

Just as simple as it sounds, a card for a female who has her birthday. 😃

Please do check our rules before entering your card. 
They are just a few and very simple.

"Away with the Fairies"

Well I think I have exhausted my daft reasons for picking this theme I hope that you will have a look among your stash to find a special stamp or image to use for this Challenge and before I show you what the Design Team have created for you this week I know you will want to know who won last weeks "Circles/Dots and/or Stripes" Challenge and that lucky person chosen by Random Org is:

Now I have some sad news one of my DT members Patty has broken her shoulder so is unable to actually leave comments on your cards but luckily she has created her card for this Challenge and a couple more so you wont miss her beautiful and stunning cards. I also want to send her my love and prayers and hope that she came through her operation yesterday to create a bionic woman (plates in her shoulder and screws) to hopefully speed her on her way to recovery. I know that both Design Teams send their love and are looking forward to you coming back. And one of the other Team members has offered to take on Patty's commenting till she is able to do it herself, so thank you Liz.
And now for the fabulous cards that the girls have created for you -
