18 Candles.

What fabulous Autumn weather we are enjoying here in the UK, sunshine and temperatures that reflect Summer - perfect for spending time in the garden tidying for the coming harsh weather that we know will be here sooner rather than later!
I had a lovely day Friday with a dear friend, trying to get a couple of challenges finished before the end of month.

The first one was for Kreative Koncepts September sketch challenge that you can see here.

The page I created features my eldest daughter who celebrated her eighteenth birthday this year! I had three photo's of her blowing out her candles so they were perfect for this challenge.

My circles consist of a mix of drawn and hand stitching.

Lots of fussy cutting of American Crafts papers.

Don't you just love the little strips you get these days on the ends of the papers that either have a pattern or a cute saying like this one. Perfect for a little embellishment that matches your papers without you having to try! A few gold stars scattered around to jazz it up and I was done.

Hope you like my page and I will be back tomorrow with another layout that I finished over the weekend.
