Birthday and Engagement cards

My youngest son rang yesterday to say he will pop over on Thursday to see us and have some dinner. Then he advised me that it is one of his best friends' birthday next week and she has just accepted a proposal of marriage, so could I make a card for each of these occasions and he'll pick them up tomorrow, no rush then!
The only clue I got as far as subject matter for the cards was concerned was that she liked horses, and for the engagement card he thought a silhouette.
As his wish is always my command, this is the result.

I got the image and sentiment for the birthday card from the internet, mounted them onto some cardstock and finished off with a little yellow flower, a cuttlebug oval and some alphabet peel offs from K & Co.
The engagement card image and backing paper is from Joanna Sheen's Dancing with Shadows CD, mounted onto pearlescent paper, with cuttlebug corners and a Craftybitz sentiment tag.

I haven't had time to do any challenge cards today, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get one done.
Thanks for visiting, I hope you (and Gemma) like the cards.
