DECEMBER BIRTHDAY'S

Happy Wednesday, everyone.   I don't believe it's fair to celebrate your birthday in December or, even worse, on Christmas Day or New Year's Day.
Today, over at Polkadoodles Digi Choosday, we're celebrating December birthdays.
As a child, I had to wait until November 30th to celebrate my birthday, and then Christmas.  My daughter-in-law is on the 9th of December, and my cousin and very good friend are on the 25th, yes, Christmas Day, and I have two other friends on the 1st January.  What's the chance that there are 365 days in a year?

Here's a quick look at the inside of my card.

Challenges I'm Entering:
1. 613 Avenue Create Challenge December 2025 Anything Goes TOP ROCKER WEEK 2 from 7th - 13th DECEMBER 2025
3. A Place To Start Challenge December 2025 Anything Goes RISING STAR AWARD FOR WEEK 2 8th - 14th DECEMBER 2025

Card Recipe:

1. Base: Bazzill Lupin
2. Next layer: White French Linen card stock.
3. Design Paper: Polkadoobles DLPD 9189 # 6 Water Colour Flower Stem Set.
4. Image: This is the same black & white image using a PNG file and coloured with copics.  It also comes as a pre coloured image.

5. Image coloured with copic markers.
6. Tools Used:

7. Dies Used:

Happy Birthday Sentiment, Spellbinders Classic Large & Small Circles, and Petite Scallop Circle.

8. Embellishments: Purple gems from my stash, and the mauve ribbon.

Take care, everyone and happy crafting.

Totally agree about timing of Birthday's, my MIL was 27th December and it used to get lost among Christmas activities.

Your floral card is a delight, thanks so much for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations challenge.

An awesome card with a fantastic design. The flower paper is gorgeous and the colouring is great.

I share the same opinion. My brother's birthday is the 21st and my mother's is the 6th of January, that is the traditional day to give our Christmas gifts in Spain. So in the case of my mother I always try to give her another day of the year a gift and it makes it more special.

Thanks for joining us at A Place To Start. Hugs, María.

Beautiful birthday card! My MIL, nephew, and sister's birthdays are on December 23, 24, and 25. So it has happened from time to time that one of them got lost in the Christmas rush :I
...but we always caught up quickly! :)
