Happy Birthday City Crafter Challenge Blog!

     Happy Birthday CCCB!  You all know that I'm a huge fan of City Crafter Challenge Blog and they are celebrating their 1 Year Anniversary!  Whooppee!  I've actually won a couple of their challenges and collected several Spotlight Awards there so I've obviously enjoyed playing their challenges.  On top of that though, the fearless leader, Kirsty, and her fabulous DT girls--Linda, Ros, and Cheryl--have been absolutely wonderful encouragers.  If you've never played there, I encourage you to try it out. :-)
     For the anniversary challenge we were supposed to case a beautiful birthday card by Sylvia Nelson.  I've used several elements from her card--the flowers, colors, emvossing, and pearls.  Had a little trouble trying to get the colors to show true again but this is what I came up with.
     Once again--HAPPY BIRTHDAY CITY CRAFTER CHALLENGE BLOG!!!!!!
