Birthday Sundaes Blog Hop

July 31st, 2011
 
 
Welcome to the very first Birthday Sundaes Blog Hop!
 
You should have arrived here from  http://thescrappingsofsue.blogspot.com/.
If not, you may want to begin at the beginning of the hop starting at the Birthday Sundaes blog.

 

 

For this hop, we had to create a card with a cupcake or cake  theme. So, I created this card using a cupcake.  Cupcakes are my favorite!

 

Here is the inside. It says, "May your birthday be as special as you are!"

 

What is a hop without a little blog candy? Today, I have some nice goodies for one lucky hopper. To win, you must be a follower and leave me a comment on this post. 
 

It has been so much fun being part of the Birthday Sundaes design team. I have learned many new techniques, have made some wonderful friends, and have visited some great blogs with some outstanding talent. Today, I say goodbye to the design team. It was a great experience! Thank you to Kristie for having me on her team! I loved it! Now, I am onto finishing some scrap books that have been laying on my craft table for several months.
