IT'S MY BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!!

Hello Friends,

I hope you're having a great time.

Welcome to the "It's My Birthday Blog Hop"  hosted by the lovely Jennifer at Crafty Card Gallery

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!

If you've randomly visited and wish to start from the beginning click HERE

If you've hopped  here from Kimberly Diane's Paper Crafts then you're on the right track.  Your next and final stop is Jenn at Scrappin' Lil Turtle

By now I'm sure you've seen some pretty awesome stuff.  This is a big group of very talented crafters.

Anyone ready for Spring yet?  It's just around the corner....Butterflies always remind me of Spring. So I decided to make a lovely birthday card using the butterfly from the "Walk in My Garden"  cartridge.  I used the "Divine Swirls" folder to emboss it and added "Star Dust" stickles to give it some bling.  The stamp is from Michael's #1 deals.

What's a party without cupcakes!!  I also made these matching cupcake toppers.  The scallop circles are from "Accent Essentials" cartridge.  I used the same butterfly and added stickles to it.   The pictures really don't do this project justice.  Apologies for the quality.  It was late when I did this and the lighting in my house is awful.




Now on to the giveaway! You're going to love this......The Sweet Matstack by DCWV (with glitter).  The paper patterns in this are simply adorable.  I almost kept this for myself and then thought about how selfish that would be.  :) I think I'll just go to Joann's and buy it for myself.  Just leave a comment on this post and I will choose a winner with random.org.   I'm heading out of town and will pick a winner next week.


ENJOY THE REST OF THE HOP!!  YOU'RE ALMOST DONE.

Happy Crafting!
Liz
