So for this fun birthday hop that will knock your SOCKS off for wonderful prizes... I used my new Tilda with a Balloon. I just got in my newest Magnolias from Michelle's Scrap Store. I am so thrilled to be a part of this hop that I will be giving out additional candy to the one I am already giving out details will be at the bottom of the post.
Anywhoot..I had a somewhat productive weekend...my house is clean I got a little organized... I forgot to make my new special meal plan but I have been doing my food journaling...I wish I could just hire a private chef to fix my lunches and dinners while I kick my feet up wearing cozy SOCKS. I know that sounds lazy but eating healthy sometimes gets hard and being creative with food is not my forte as I grew up in a home with southern food (might be why I am almost a diabetic) sugar sugar sugar has always been my downfall, and I am right along side Paula Deen with using butter well about half of what she uses!


For my card I tried to follow several challenges to create this one. In fact the first time I colored her I hated it and the second time well I was a little more pleased as I knocked my own SOCKS off.


First attempt

Second attempt I switched up my pinks too

I wanted you to the sparkly in the sentiment Birthday Wishes from The Great Impressions Stamps and the embossing powder is from Sparkle n Sprinkle called Winter Berry.

I used ribbon and twine from Really Reasonable Ribbon and rhinestones I picked up at a craft store.

My papers are from... I want to say Echo Park the newest collection yummy stuff in that paper pad.
