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!

Bee Mine......

Hi
Hope you are all having a great Monday. (as good as Monday's can be)  here's a set of cards I made for a Valentine's card swap going on at Holy Cricut  I've never been in a card swap before so I'm excited to see what fun cards I will get in return.  I hope everyone likes mine.
Recipe:
The bumblebee is from Walk in My Garden  Cartridge
The pattern paper is from a MS stack I had in my stash
The stamp is from the $1 section at Michaels
The two little hearts are scraps from another project.
I also used stickles for the antennas

Have a great day!

Tulip card

Love all the beautiful Christmas in July crafts I've seen floating around "blog world" this weekend.  Here's a curve ball for my fellow bloggers.  :)  Hello SPRING!!  I made this card for my best friend and fellow blogger Debbie.  To see her blog click HERE.  This was back in May and I never got around to posting it.  She loves Tulips so what better way to wish her a Happy Birthday.

I used the Walk in My Garden Cricut cartridge, Happy Birthday cuttlebug folder, Martha Stewart punch and MPS stamp for the sentiment!  Enjoy!
