Birthday Challenge at Di's Digis (Di's Digis image)

Hi crafty friends,

Our electricity went out last night for the first time in a long time, I am feeling very sad for all those that keep losing power, we didn't know what to do with ourselves so we all had a nice early night.

Anyway, my card is a little late posting as I couldn't do it without power but I am now letting you all know about Di's Digis (blog) latest challenge which is Birthdays. I chose to do a boy's card and of course used a gorgeous image from Di's Digis(store). I created a little scene with a Fiskars grass border punch and a fence from Flourish with a Bling which I cut to have 2 palings on each side.
