Happy Birthday Peggy!

The Stampalot Challenge Blog has posed the question, 'What's your crafty passion?' and my card has a little bit of everything I love about cardmaking: fussy cutting, heat embossing, glossy accents, distress inks, promarkers & die cutting. Oh and of course stamping! I really loved using my new stamps from Waltzingmouse Stamps and I followed their sketch challenge #106.

Going Buggy's Challenge this month focuses on weather and what could be more appropriate than clouds, as that's mostly what I see whenever I look out the window this Summer.

Passion for Promarker are advocating the use of gingham and I found a lovely digital paper in just the right colour created by Bev Rochester.

Crafts4Eternity have a recipe for you to take your colours from the olympic parrot. I've chosen to focus on blue and this ties in nicely with the DYSU challenge which wants you to play with cool colours, so I picked cool blues for Peggy's card.
