We usually pick our favorite entries for each challenge theme but this month we thought we'd switch things up a bit and pick TWO RANDOM WINNERS - so every entry has an equal chance to win. Just follow the guidelines below to qualify.

Here's some inspiration!

Several of our Design Team Members decided to play along - check out all the awesome birthday cards they created! Read the description below each card to see who made it.

Kimberly created this beautiful spring sky using our new Beautiful Wings stamp set and Beautiful Wings Die Set!

Awww! I love the fun little bunny in the frame on this card by Samantha! She used our Hello Spring stamp set.

This sweet little wagon card by Yukari is perfect for spring! I love the soft colors she used! The wagon is from the Wagon of Wishes stamp set and the "hello friend" sentiment is from the Versatile Vases stamp set.

Nina-Marie got out her watercolors to do some springy no-line coloring! She used our Hello Spring stamp set. You can check out her blog today for a video too!

This beautiful spring card by Stephanie is so cheerful! She used the new Beautiful Wings stamp set and Beautiful Wings Die Set for the butterflies and our Simply Seasonal stamp set for the sentiment.

And here's one by me - I created a fun little card using the chicks and cracked egg from the new Hello Spring stamp set, mixed with some fun bright pattern papers.
