(You do not have to enter the special challenge to be eligible for the blog hopping commenting prizes, but we hope you will!)
Second: Make a card or project in the Celebration theme and add it here as a reply to get a chance on one of the sponsors' prizes!!

Have fun and enjoy the party!!
I am representing Sunday Songs and Rhymes where we have a challenge every fortnight with a song or rhyme theme.

 I have made 3 cards using We are 3 papers and digi stamps from 3 of our sponsors


All three cards used We are 3 papers from Party Celebration.  Bonnie made these papers especially for the blog hop and she is generously giving them away to everyone who joins in the hop.

Card one I used Sheepski Designs digi stamp Birthday Balloons image No 57 which I coloured with markers and sentiment from We are 3 Birthday Wishes sentiment set

Card 2 I used Patties Creations digi stamp Happy birthday bear which I coloured with markers and glitter gel pens.

Card 3 I used Bugaboo digi stamp Sunbonnet cake which I coloured with markers
and sentiment from We are 3 Birthday Wishes sentiment set

For card 1 I followed sketch 155  Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 so I would like to add card 1 to that challenge.

For card 2 I followed the March sketch at Cheerful Sketches so I would like to add card 2 to that challenge.

    Oh, Margaret, you made three beautiful cards for the celebration of The Outlawz's birthday. I love the beautiful lady with her balloons on your first card. The little teddy bear with its heart balloons is so adorable on your second card. Your third card includes a darling and beautiful little girl carrying the birthday cake. All of the images are wonderful and are colored so well. The patterned paper is awesome and the layouts on the cards are great! You did a remarkable job of creating for the celebration, Margaret!
