Kacee's Birthday Blog Hop



Happy 36th Birthday Kacee!  I hope you have the most wonderful birthday ever! :)
If you hopped from Gloria's blog, you are on track, if you happen to come across my blog and want to hop along, please start with Kacee.   

Here's the birthday card I created, "Have your cupcake and eat it too!"



The cardstock and glitter paper is Colorbok; pattern paper DCWV.   I wanted the look of real icing and M&M's so  I used puffy paint by Tulip.  The party hat and cupcake die cut is from My Mind's Eye.  The green starburst is a cut from SCAL2.
The digi stamp is by Jen's Digi Stamps.  Currently she has a special promo buy get one free that ends on September 2nd, take advantage of the sale.  Jen's Digi Stamps is one of our generous sponsors for Link Up for Pink.  She also has a cute freebie here: Jen's Freebie.

Here's my second birthday card:


While visiting blogs, I saw the prettiest embossed cards, I forget to use my embossing folders.  So here's my card using two different folders.  The paper is from my stash; the ribbon is from Joann's and the floss by Darice.  I cut the fabric flowers from a ribbon I purchased at Joann's.  The pearlies are by Recollections.  The digi stamp is by Heart Song Designs and it's a free digi!  I'm entering this card to their HSI #13 Challenge Anything Goes. 
Heart Song Designs is also one of our generous Link Up for Pink sponsor. :)

Blog candy:  Leave a comment to win five yards of each color twine.  I will choose a winner on Friday, September 2nd.


Your next stop is the talented Shannon from My-O-Scrapping
