Milestone Birthdays! Challenge #400 and BIG Giveaway! (Week #2)

 Hello Ai fans!

Welcome to week #2 of our big Milestone Birthdays Challenge!

We're celebrating 400 challenges with a BIG giveaway.

5 lucky winners will walk away with a free stamp set.

I'm offering 3 retired Throwbacks and Art Impressions will be giving away 2 more current sets still on their website.  Please leave a message in the comments section below when you enter your Milestone Birthday card. Let me know if you have a preference as to a specific stamp set and I'll do my best to accommodate the winners. 

Last week our Featured Designer was Lynn and she created this wonderful masculine birthday card.

This week we're sharing the rest of our Design Team cards.

I created two GOAT (Greatest of All Time) cards for you.
One is a 30th birthday and one is an 89th birthday. I know we generally think of milestones as even numbers, I figure anything past 80 is a milestone and worth celebrating. That one was for my Father-in-law.

Dori created a 70th birthday card.

Janet created an 80th birthday card.
She used 5407 - Birthday Cake GCH

AiCS28-Chocolate Therapy (sentiment only) Retired
5911 – Large Number Die Set

Tasha created a 60th birthday card.

I just LOVE everyone of these cards from the Design Team!

I hope they inspire you to join in the challenge. There are so many prizes to be given away this week. Maybe YOU'LL be the next winner!
