As promised - I have a fabulous blog candy to offer in honor of my DD's 12th birthday today! What do you have to do to win this amazing item? Simple! Here's your instructions:
1) Make a birthday card - any birthday card (it's nice to have extras around especially when some blogger you know and love has a birthday coming up VERY SOON!)
(how's that for a sublte hint?)
2) Leave a comment on this post, which includes a link to your card.
This is easy in many ways - the card making world is just bursting with ideas for layouts, colors, etc. . .For instance, the Splitcoast Color Challenge was posted today and the Sketch Challenge will be posted in the morning. If you want some other options for inspiration - head over and check out Jen's Sketch For You To Try or try one of the fun color combos from Julie's Color Concoction!
Ok - have I tortured you enough?
Wanna see the candy?
Yep! That's right! A brand spankin' new Janome Sew Mini could be yours! 
ALSO, don't forget - to check out this post for another opportunity to win a separate birthday prize!
NOTE: The separate birthday prize is a surprise! You won't know what it is until the winner is chosen! FUN!
Deadline for the birthday prize and the Sew Mini is Friday, October 3rd. The winners of both prizes will be announced on Saturday, October 4th. . .hmmmmm - why is that day significant?
Wow..that is what i call blog candy!! Its an awesome prize!!!
Here is my birthday card, I used my favorite stamp character, Fluffles!

Happy Birthday - almost :) Enjoy the next decade - I'm loving it!! Don't know if this counts as this card is a few months old, but I have made it several times over for various friends - my latest being yesterday.
