Birthday Blog Hop

Good morning friends! It is a very special day here today, as it is my dear friend Claire Brennan's birthday! The Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team has organized a blog hop in honor of her birthday!

This is the first stop along the hop, so please be sure to visit Belinda's blog next and she'll send you on your way!

Happy Birthday Claire, you're the best!

So many things I love on this card! Plaid, stitching, lace background stamps, an edge punch, and a fun color combination!

The Raspberry Fizz strip is stamped with the large broderie anglaise border from the Faux Fun stamp set. The large butterfly was cut from a piece of cardstock stamped with the plaid stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds. The small butterfly was embossed with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder. The swirly, curly sentiment is from Say It With Style (this set is a must-have! it is so beautiful, versatile, and nestie-friendly!).

I added some stitching, rhinestones, and a punched strip.. I just kept adding and adding! Stopped short of the glitter and buttons, though :)

Claire, I hope you have a wonderful, happy birthday! Now be sure to head over to see Belinda, the next stop along the hop. I hope you all have a great day, and thank you so much for stopping by!
