I have not idea what I was thinking at the time but I accidentally posted my card blog onto my holiday blog. I must been in La La land. So here I have reposted it directly here. I was even able to copy my comments, which is great as they are very much appreciated.
When at first I couldn't find this blog, I thought it was lost forever in cyber space but something made me go and look at the Simply Less is More Blog and see what link I put in and that when I noticed my bob boo. So here it is directly transferred word for word along with the photos! I will try to take more care and see that I don't do that again!

Big event birthdays
This week on the Less is More Blog, the challenge is "STARS".
I hand cut the big numbers from double sided jac paper (like Double sided sticky tape only in sheet size formats). I peeled the backing off one side and stuck it onto some layers first. The card layer having already been stamped and embossed. Then I peeled off the top layer of the jac paper and stuck down some star sequins in a random fashion and then filled the rest of the sticky surface with glitter. I also glued some sequins in a scattered fashion off to the right of the card, extending the 'explosion'
The gold and silver backing papers are from a dear friend who used to make cake bases and has all these yummy gold and sliver embossed papers left over that she shared with me. I am very stingy in using up these yummy papers. (Thanks Lesley)
Hope you enjoyed these cards. I have some ideas for variations. I am going to make & post a few more, now that I have them in mind! Come back soon.

- There certainly are a lot of stars here Michelle, not a lot of white space but fun cards! Thanks so much Chrissie "Less is More"

- These are gorgeous Michelle! The stars give the numbers such a celebratory look - and they'd work brilliantly without the layers too! Vx
