3 challenges 1 card and birthday wishes

I made this card for the My Time to Craft challenge which is 'Mice and Easy' well I wouldn't say it was that easy as this image is decoupaged, and a bit of fiddly cutting out was required! This is also another entry for Just Christmas and Birthday Cards as I have used their sketch. I have also come accross a another challenge blog that I didn't know off called This Thursday they have challenges, tutorials, looks good, their challenge is called 'Something with Whiskers'. I am so pleased with this card, the balloon backing paper mathces the colours of the image perfectly and the ribbon looks pretty good to!
It's my eldests 6th birthday today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILLIE
Here is a picture of her when she was 2 (I don't have any digi pictures of her until then!) the picture was taken before I took over the hall with my desk and crafty bits!!!
This is her now, well the picture was taken back in February just before she went out with her friend Lily for her 6th birthday!! My hubby doesn't like this picture as he thinks she looks like a hussy and far older than she is!!!Bless her she wanted me to rag her hair last night so it was all curly for school but we just ran out of time. She only opened a couple of cards and 3 presents this morning, one of which was her new High School Musical backpack which she has taken to school. I made plain buns topped with chocolate and a button (sweet!) for her to take so they could all have them at snack time! She isn't having a party, instead we are going ten-pin bowling followed by something to eat, her friend Lily is coming with us to. Quite looking forward to it even though I've not been for a long long time and am not very good, should be fun!
