Hello! This card is for the Sketch challenge 210, for the color challenge 209 "Black Rose Artichokes" and for the Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #22 " Bella's Birthday". Here it goes:
New Moon opens with Bella's 18th birthday and Alice in full party mode. Most people dread turning 30 or 40, but Bella dreaded turning 18-mostly since that meant she was "older than" Edward. For the Cullens, they were excited - the last birthday they had ever “celebrated” was Emmett’s many decades earlier.
For the creative challenge part - create a birthday themed item - you’re welcome to draw inspiration from the party or just go with “birthday”. I chose to get inspired by the airplane tickets that Carlile and Esme got Bella and she almost didn't use.
For the comment part - tell us if youÂ’ve ever given or been the recipient of a surprise party or let me know if there was a birthday you dreaded. Or simply just let us know what your favorite birthday gift was.
I have been the recipient of a surprise party but not a b-day and I have also given surprise parties to friends. I haven't dreaded a birthday so far but who knows maybe my 40th or 50th.
There you have it, this is my first challenge for Twilight Tuesday. Hope you like it. TFL!

Great card...no surprise parties. Don't even remember my best gift. But, 16 had to be my best age to reach. Isn't it for just about everyone? I was probably dreading 30..thinking that was old.

Very cool card! Great combination of the challenges! I've never been surprised with a party, but I've given them for other friends. I kind of dreaded a BIG birthday last week, but somehow I managed to come through it!
